Brief History Of Ghana formerly Gold Coast

According to oral traditions, the ancestors of the Akan people, today the largest ethnic group, entered the country from the north and spread southwards between CE 1200 and 1600. The Fanti State of Denkyira was at that period already established on the coast. By 1400 the Akan had established their Bono and Buida kingdoms in the forested central region.
Their highly developed culture was centred on the city-state, surrounded by vassal villages, and rule by a court where the queen mother was often a more powerful figure than the king who, being sacred, was hidden from the people and consequently often politically isolated. The Akan traded gold and kola nuts for salt and cloth, in the west and north, and were also involved in the slave trade.
In the 15th century, the Ashanti people waged war against the Denkyira Kingdom and by 1700 had gained control of the slave trade. They developed a powerful army and a centralised state, ruled by the Asantehene (king of the Ashanti nation).
Portuguese traders, arriving after 1450 in search of gold and ivory, named the country Gold Coast; appropriately since, by the end of the 16th century, it produced ten per cent of the world’s gold.
From the middle of the 16th century other Europeans began arriving; in the mid-18th century there were Dutch, Danish and British settlements.
The British became involved in internal conflicts when they backed the Fanti against the Ashanti who were extending their power into the coastal areas. There were four wars in the 19th century.
The Bond of 1844, entered into by Britain and the Fanti chiefs, endorsed British control of small pockets of settlement; six years later Britain set up a legislative council to govern these areas. The British took over abandoned Danish settlements in 1850 and the Dutch settlements in 1871. By Orders in Council (1901) Britain declared the southern territory a colony by settlement, the northern territory a protectorate and Ashanti a colony by conquest.
In 1922 a part of the adjoining German territory of Togoland was placed under British administration by a League of Nations Mandate and after World War II it became a UN Trust Territory. The principle of elections was introduced under the 1925 constitution.
During the first half of the 20th century, there was growing national pressure for self-determination, and the UK gradually surrendered control.
The 1946 constitution required the legislative council to have an African majority. Following civic disturbances in 1948, the UK agreed that a committee consisting entirely of Africans should examine the structure of the country’s government.
In 1949, Kwame Nkrumah set up the Convention People’s Party (CPP) to campaign for independence.
Elections took place in 1951, and the following year Nkrumah became the country’s first Premier. The 1954 constitution provided for a legislative assembly of 104 directly elected members, and an all-African Cabinet; the UK kept responsibility for foreign affairs and defence. The CPP campaigned for full independence. The general election of 1956 returned the CPP with a big majority.
Modern-day Ghana was formed when the British-administered part of Togoland voted to join the Gold Coast in an independent state, in a UN-supervised plebiscite in May 1956. Ghana achieved independence within the Commonwealth on 6 March 1957.
In 1960 Ghana became a republic, with Nkrumah as President, and in 1964 a one-party state, the CPP being the sole authorised party.
However, less than a year later, Nkrumah was removed by military coup, the first of four coups.
The army and police set up a National Liberation Council, which dissolved the legislative assembly and suspended the constitution while a new one was drafted.
Political activity was permitted again in 1969; a general election followed in August. It returned the Progress Party; its leader Dr Kofi Busia became Prime Minister, with the National Alliance of Liberals as the opposition.
Two weeks before the elections were to be held in June 1979, a military coup led by junior officers ousted the government. Flt-Lt Jerry J Rawlings and the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council declared that they had assumed power, in order that an honest election could take place. Elections were held as scheduled; they returned the People’s National Party, whose leader Dr Hilla Limann took office as President in September 1979.
Another coup, in 1981, put Rawlings back in power. He suspended the constitution and banned political parties. From December 1981 until November 1992 Ghana was ruled by a Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC). In May 1991 the PNDC government set up a 260-member consultative assembly to oversee the restoration of multiparty democracy.
A committee of constitutional experts was appointed to draft a new constitution for submission to this assembly. In April 1992 the draft constitution was overwhelmingly approved in a referendum; political associations were unbanned; and six opposition movements were granted legal recognition.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) was formed to contest the elections on behalf of the PNDC. The November 1992 presidential election (witnessed by Commonwealth observers, and considered ‘overall free and fair’) returned Jerry Rawlings (with 58.3 per cent of the vote).
The parliamentary elections of December 1992 returned the NDC with 189 of 200 seats in the new Parliament. The NDC united with the National Convention Party (NCP) and the Every Ghanaian Living Everywhere Party to form the Progressive Alliance.
In January 1993 Rawlings was sworn in as President, and the Fourth Republic was inaugurated. In May 1995, the NCP left the coalition. In the December 1996 elections, President Rawlings was re-elected with 58 per cent of the votes. Turnout was 75 per cent. His party, the NDC, won 133 seats.
The opposition alliance of the New Patriotic Party and the People’s Convention Party won 66 seats, just reaching the level at which they could successfully oppose constitutional changes (which need a two-thirds majority).
The elections were seen as a step towards full multiparty democracy; the opposition had boycotted the 1992 parliamentary elections, but accepted defeat the second time round.
Ghana thus acquired a significant legislative opposition for the first time in 15 years. After Rawlings was chosen as ‘life chairman’ of the party in December 1998, the NDC suffered a serious split in its ranks with the formation by some of its founding members of the National Reform Party, which was registered in July 1999. In 1972, another military coup led by Colonel Ignatius Acheampong overthrew Busia’s government and set up a National Redemption Council. In 1978 Acheampong was replaced by General Frederick Akuffo, who promised civilian rule by the middle of the following year.

W/R: Operation Halt II destroys about 20 excavators, several other equipment

 

Operation Halt II takes anti galamsey fight to Western Region; destroys about 20 excavators


Operation Halt II has begun its Western Region operation with a bang

- It destroyed several excavators and other illegal mining equipment along Ankobra, Bonusu, and Bonsa Rivers

- It comes a day after President Akufo-Addo declared his full support for the operation

Operation Halt II has destroyed several excavators along the Ankobra, Bonusu, and Bonsa Rivers in the Western Region.

Made of three units of the Ghana Armed Forces—the 2nd and 5th Infantry Battalions and the 64th Infantry Regiment, Operation Halt II began its Western Region operation on Thursday, May 27, 2021.

The team is being supported by personnel drawn from the Ghana navy, air force, Southern Command, 48th Engineers’ Regiment, and the Support Service.

The operation is expected to end on Saturday 29 May.

According to a report sighted on Asaaseradio.com, the team destroyed two washing machines and floating platforms on the Bonusu River, and 18 excavators along the Rivers Ankobra and Bonsa.

“Ten changfans and two water pumping machines sited along the Bonsa River were also destroyed,” the outlet reported citing a source close to the operation.

“The Operation Halt II team, led by Lieutenant Colonel Prince Tandoh, located and destroyed one excavator, 100 changfan machines, 20 water pumping machines, four motorbikes, and other illegal mining equipment on a site close to the Ankobra River,” the source added.

Operation Halt II’s latest invasion of illegal mining sites in the Western Region comes a day after President Akufo-Addo endorsed the burning of excavators and other equipment confiscated at these mining sites.

“The presence of ‘changfans’ in water bodies is illegal, as is the unlawful use of excavators in protected forest zones,” President Akufo-Addo said on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, during the sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of the first phase of the “Law Village”.

“The devastation caused by this equipment is nothing short of evil and we should not compromise in our efforts to protect our environment, forest reserves, and water bodies.”

In other news, uneasy tension is brewing at Amanase, a community near Suhum along the Accra-Kumasi highway.

News reaching  adansiweb.xyz indicates that some irate youth of the community have blocked the highway in protest of reckless driving after a speeding vehicle crushed an elderly man to death.

They burnt tyres during the spontaneous protest, causing massive vehicular traffic.

According to a report sighted on Starrfm.com.gh, the speeding vehicle crushed the man to death whilst he was crossing the road at about 7:30 pm.

The “man’s mortal remain was shredded and littered on the road,” the report noted.

The irate youth created unbearable gridlock on the highway for close to an hour until the arrival of armed police to the scene.

They reportedly had to resort to the firing of warning shots to disperse the raging youth and clear the road to traffic.

HAS OBUASI BOETE PARK BEEN SEIZED OR MANHANDLED


 

Obuasi which is situated In the Ashanti region has been one of the breed of footballers for decades now.

The likes of John Mensah, Jonathan Mensah, Inkoom are some of the product of Obuasi.

Football in Obuasi is equivalent to fishing at the coastal areas.

For the past decades, a suburb of Obuasi which is Boete has seen massive contribution to the football family in Ghanaian 1st Division and premiere league.

Tijani Joshua(Aduana), Adono Godfred (Bechem), Kanyiri Samad (Wa suntaa), Nurideen Abdulai (Former Wa Allstars), Kuzuma Ebenezer (Former Dreams FC) ,Kuzuma Emmanuel (Former inter allies) many to mention but few...

Most of the youth depend on the colts and Division 3 sides.

But for the past 3 years what Boete used to produce which was football has decreased to 10% and 90% of drug addiction.

This as a result of good gone wrong. The MP for Obuasi East Hon. Dr. Boakye Yiadom did a great but bad call. He reconstructed Boete park but took years to complete leaving the youth to wander in bad and maintained attitude.

But nothing good came out of it.

From sources, Hon. Dr Boakye Yiadom keeps the field keys and opens it anytime he feels like.

Currently there's no team in Boete out of the two (Newcastle and Monaco) playing the colts league on the same field due to lack of training grounds when the one at their disposal is been worshipped.

The youth can't train

There are no colts teams again due to this act.

Was he helping secure better football or he was helping to destroy talent.

The youth of Obuasi Boete are fedup and needs the field for what the love doing.

Water under fire | UNICEF - The role of water in conflicts around the world.


 

Water under fire | UNICEF

The role of water in conflicts around the world.UNICEF’s water under fire change agenda

The right to safe drinking water and sanitation is rooted in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, United Nations resolutions and the Geneva conventions. It is a right that is as critical to the survival of children as food, medical care, and protection from attack. But from Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh to Ukraine to Yemen, it is clear that crises have become increasingly protracted and conflict threatens interconnected urban service systems.

To improve children’s access to clean drinking water, and to save lives in conflicts and crises, UNICEF calls for three major changes:

Stop attacks on water and sanitation infrastructure and personnel.
Deliberate and indiscriminate attacks on water and sanitation – and power supplies required for them to function – can be a violation of international humanitarian law. So, too, is the intentional denial of services.

Build a water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector capable of consistently providing high-quality water and sanitation services in emergencies.
The WASH sector needs to build technical, operational and personnel capacity to address increasingly complex and protracted crises.

Link life-saving humanitarian responses to the development of sustainable water and sanitation systems for all.
This requires building systems that can ensure the right to safe water and sanitation and prevent outbreaks of disease. And it demands that humanitarian and development organizations collaborate from the start to establish systems that will remain resilient.

UNICEF launched the Water Under Fire campaign in March 2019 to draw global attention to three fundamental areas where changes are urgently needed to secure access to safe and sustainable water and sanitation in fragile contexts. As part of the campaign, it has launched three reports.

Vol. 1: Emergencies, development and peace in fragile and conflict-affected contexts
Syria. Boys and a man collect water from UNICEF-supported water point.

Focuses on the need for immediate action to accelerate water and sanitation service delivery in fragile and conflict-affected contexts; prevent water-related tensions between groups and political entities; and ensure the right to water and sanitation for every child.

Vol. 2: Strengthening sector capacity for a predictable, quality humanitarian response
Yemen. A woman carries a water container.

Is dedicated to the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector’s capacity to deliver a predictable, quality humanitarian WASH response, and provides a change agenda and road map towards strengthening this capacity.

Vol. 3: Attacks on water and sanitation services in armed conflict and the impacts on children
Syria. A girl, carrying jerrycans of water, walks past a pile of debris.

Attacks on water are attacks on children


Water resources and the systems required to deliver drinking water have been attacked for centuries. All too often, the human dependence on water has been exploited during conflict. Nearly all of the conflict-related emergencies where UNICEF has responded in recent years have involved some form of attack hindering access to water, whether directed against water infrastructure or through incidental harm or tactic used by a party to the conflict to limit water supply to conflict-affected populations. Where there has been conflict, water has been part of the battleground – whether explicitly targeted or incidentally affected by actions or conduct during armed conflict.

When a community’s water supply is cut off, children and families are forced to rely on unsafe water, or leave their homes in search of a new source. At times this may mean families have to reduce or ration their water supplies, other times it means drinking water that is clearly contaminated and dangerous.

For children, the consequences can be deadly, as water and sanitation related diseases remain among the leading causes of death in children under five.

There are different ways that water can be used as a weapon, which include attacking water infrastructure and workers, or denying access.

For example:

  • Attacks on water and sanitation infrastructure: this includes both intentional attacks, such as targeting pipelines or pouring concrete into wells, and inadvertent attacks, where reckless bombardment with no attempt to avoid critical civilian infrastructure results in damaged or destroyed water and sanitation systems.
  • Stopping the flow of water: this can include turning off water pumping stations so pipes run dry, or even shutting down electrical systems so that water pumping station cannot operate.
  • Contaminating water: when water sources are poisoned, the water has been turned into a weapon. This includes throwing dead human or animal bodies in a well to contaminate the water supply as a tactic to deny a community safe water.
  • Attacks on water and sanitation workers: humanitarians and local workers around the world are often at risk when working in conflicts. Many have come under attack, been injured or killed while repairing critical civilian infrastructure. Even the threat of attack can deter maintenance or repair, leaving a community without safe water.
  • Denial of humanitarian access: often in conflicts, humanitarian workers and supplies are denied access to reach communities or areas that need assistance.

But attacks on infrastructure and personnel are just two of the numerous threats affecting children’s access to water and sanitation. In many protracted conflicts, water and sanitation systems aren’t just targeted, but are left either undeveloped or in a state of disrepair. In some cases, there was not an adequate water or sanitation system to begin with, and the onset of conflict simply exacerbates the problem.

Ultimately, children caught up in conflict should not live in fear of bullets and bombs. And nor should they die or suffer for a lifetime by being denied access to water and sanitation services because the water source was attacked or cut off.

The role of water in conflicts around the world.UNICEF’s water under fire change agenda

The right to safe drinking water and sanitation is rooted in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, United Nations resolutions and the Geneva conventions. It is a right that is as critical to the survival of children as food, medical care, and protection from attack. But from Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh to Ukraine to Yemen, it is clear that crises have become increasingly protracted and conflict threatens interconnected urban service systems.

To improve children’s access to clean drinking water, and to save lives in conflicts and crises, UNICEF calls for three major changes:

Stop attacks on water and sanitation infrastructure and personnel.
Deliberate and indiscriminate attacks on water and sanitation – and power supplies required for them to function – can be a violation of international humanitarian law. So, too, is the intentional denial of services.

Build a water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector capable of consistently providing high-quality water and sanitation services in emergencies.
The WASH sector needs to build technical, operational and personnel capacity to address increasingly complex and protracted crises.

Link life-saving humanitarian responses to the development of sustainable water and sanitation systems for all.
This requires building systems that can ensure the right to safe water and sanitation and prevent outbreaks of disease. And it demands that humanitarian and development organizations collaborate from the start to establish systems that will remain resilient.

UNICEF launched the Water Under Fire campaign in March 2019 to draw global attention to three fundamental areas where changes are urgently needed to secure access to safe and sustainable water and sanitation in fragile contexts. As part of the campaign, it has launched three reports.

Vol. 1: Emergencies, development and peace in fragile and conflict-affected contexts
Syria. Boys and a man collect water from UNICEF-supported water point.

Focuses on the need for immediate action to accelerate water and sanitation service delivery in fragile and conflict-affected contexts; prevent water-related tensions between groups and political entities; and ensure the right to water and sanitation for every child.

Vol. 2: Strengthening sector capacity for a predictable, quality humanitarian response
Yemen. A woman carries a water container.

Is dedicated to the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector’s capacity to deliver a predictable, quality humanitarian WASH response, and provides a change agenda and road map towards strengthening this capacity.

Vol. 3: Attacks on water and sanitation services in armed conflict and the impacts on children
