Burkina Faso $90 Billion Canal Project to Atlantic Unveiled by Traore

Burkina Faso is preparing for one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Africa — a $90 billion canal that would connect the landlocked nation to the Atlantic Ocean. Announced under President Ibrahim Traore’s leadership, the initiative is set to transform the country’s economic and trade future. The proposed canal, stretching 1,200 kilometers, will directly link Ouagadougou to the Atlantic, effectively turning the capital into a global port. Plans include 20 massive locks and several artificial lakes to manage water flow and shipping routes. The design is expected to accommodate large cargo ships, positioning Burkina Faso as a new maritime hub in West Africa. Backed by BRICS nations and Gulf investors, the project is slated for completion by 2040. Once operational, it could cut trade transport times by up to 70%, boosting efficiency and lowering costs for exporters. Experts project […]

AAMUSTED Launches Academic Journals to Bridge Research and Policy in Ghana

The Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) has launched two academic journals to promote research and innovation for national development. The journals, titled the Journal of Technology Education and Applied Science (JTEAS) and the Journal of Applied Social Science & Entrepreneurship Education (JASSEE), are designed to make research accessible to policymakers, educators, and entrepreneurs. Speaking at the launch in Kumasi, Professor Isaac Boateng, Pro Vice Chancellor of AAMUSTED, emphasized that these journals aim to close the gap between academics and policymakers. He noted that many valuable research works end up in paid international journals or in university libraries, making it difficult for politicians and decision-makers to access. “These journals will create a free platform where findings can be shared to guide development,” he said. Prof. Boateng added that the initiative will also help preserve indigenous technical […]

Assembly Members vs Chief Justice: Who Has More Legal Protection in Ghana?

On September 1, 2025, the President of the Republic signed a warrant removing the suspended Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkoono. Her removal has sparked widespread debate over the legality of the process. Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution has become the subject of heated discussions, with lawyers, politicians, civil society, and even “pocket lawyers” arguing for or against its proper application. In my earlier article, I explained why the removed Chief Justice could not return to serve as a Justice of the Supreme Court. In this piece, I argue that an elected Assembly Member is, by law, better protected from removal than even the Chief Justice, who heads the Judiciary—the third arm of government. Article 146(1) clearly sets the grounds for removing a Justice of the superior courts or a tribunal chairman: stated misbehavior, incompetence, or […]

Illegal Miners Seize $168m Gold Mine Concession in Adansi, Ashanti Region

he future of what could become the second-largest mine in the Adansi enclave of the Ashanti Region is now in jeopardy after illegal miners forcibly seized over 200 acres of concession land. The site, secured by Mining and Construction Services for underground mining, has been overrun by groups allegedly led by the NDC Vice Chairman for Obuasi West, Alhaji Zamba. The illegal operators, equipped with excavators, are conducting unsustainable mining and digging trenches, leaving staff of the legal operators threatened and driven away. Managing Director Andy Amoah recounted how his team was forced to stop operations despite holding valid documentation. He explained that although the company had secured all necessary licenses and even gained clearance from National Security operatives, the illegal miners refused to vacate the concession, insisting the land was allocated to communities under the John Mahama administration. In […]

Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Issue 3-Day Ultimatum to Foreign Traders

The Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association has given foreign traders operating in the enclave three days to close their shops or face enforcement action. According to the Association, the activities of these traders violate Ghana’s investment laws, distort fair competition, and threaten the survival of local businesses. Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the General Secretary, Gifty Lovelock Naana Fianu, explained that if authorities fail to act, the group will enforce Section 27(1) of the GIPC Act, 2013 (Act 865), including through citizens’ arrest if necessary. “We are giving them three days. Today, we will go round and speak with them politely to ensure they understand. On Wednesday, we will engage their leaders. If they refuse to listen, we will involve the authorities,” she said. She added that letters would be sent to the police and other relevant […]

MV Matthew Cocaine Bust Exposes Cartels’ New Smuggling Routes into UK and Europe

A text message from Dubai, marked with a Santa emoji, promised an easy job. “OK lads. No need for luck. Really this couldn’t be any more straightforward. Just relax and this will all be over soon.” The message was sent to a Ukrainian fisherman and an unemployed man from Teesside as they sailed into the Irish Sea to collect cocaine from the cargo ship MV Matthew. Nothing about the mission was straightforward. Instead of slipping past unnoticed, the pair were swept up in an international operation that foiled one of Europe’s biggest smuggling attempts. The Irish authorities intercepted more than 2.2 tonnes of cocaine, struck a blow against the cartels, and jailed eight men for a combined 129 years. Every kilo of the seized cocaine was destroyed. Despite the victory, officials warn the tide of cocaine flooding into Europe is […]

U.S. Tariffs Strain Massachusetts Manufacturers as Costs Rise and Jobs Shrink

In a cavernous 1890s factory in southern Massachusetts, just 15 workers remain, stitching hospital-grade neonatal gear on aging sewing machines. This small crew is all that’s left of what was once a bustling manufacturing hub run by the Teixeira family. Most of the operation shut down in 1990 as the family pivoted to warehousing and distribution under Accurate Services Inc. Since former President Donald Trump rolled out sweeping tariffs, the Teixeiras have received more inquiries from companies suddenly interested in U.S.-based sewing. But they’ve declined, citing hiring difficulties amid immigration crackdowns and skepticism about long-term demand. “It’s just not going to happen,” said Frank Teixeira, who has been with the business since the 1970s. “Tariffs are a bad policy and eventually are going to come home to haunt us.” Trump campaigned on promises that tariffs would revive American manufacturing, lower […]

Fugitive Father Tom Phillips Shot Dead After Four Years on the Run

A man who had been hiding in New Zealand’s wilderness with his three children for nearly four years has been shot dead by police. Tom Phillips, who vanished with his children in late 2021, had managed to evade capture despite a nationwide search and several reported sightings. His disappearance became one of the country’s most gripping and enduring mysteries. According to police, Phillips was killed during a shoot-out around 2:30am local time on Monday (14:30 GMT Sunday) in Piopio, a small town in northern New Zealand. A police officer was seriously injured after being shot in the head during the confrontation. Authorities said officers were responding to a robbery at a commercial property when Phillips and one of his children were spotted on a quad bike. Police pursued them and deployed road spikes. The bike hit the spikes, veered off-road, […]
