How Muntaka narrowly escaped the deadly helicopter crash

On 6 August 2025, a Ghana Armed Forces Harbin Z-9 helicopter crashed near Adansi Akrofuom in the Ashanti Region. The tragedy claimed the lives of eight people—including Defence Minister Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed—as confirmed by multiple sources. No one on board survived. Among those originally scheduled to fly was Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak. The Deputy Director-General of the National Service Authority, Fuseini Donkor, revealed on TV3’s "NewDay" that Muntaka had been the fifth passenger booked on the flight. However, Finance Minister Dr. Ato Forson intervened at the last moment, requesting Muntaka’s presence in Accra for an urgent meeting with immigration officials. As a result, Murtala Mohammed took his place aboard the chopper. If not for that critical change—prompted by Ato Forson’s insistence—Muntaka would have been among those on the ill-fated flight. This intervention inadvertently spared […]

Five soldiers injured at Fort Stewart base shooting in Georgia

On August 6, 2025, an active shooter incident occurred at Fort Stewart, a U.S. Army base in southeast Georgia, resulting in five U.S. soldiers being wounded and a suspect taken into custody, according to Reuters and AP News reports.

Trump imposes 50% tariff on India over Russian oil imports

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to impose a 50% tariff on imports from India, citing New Delhi’s ongoing purchases of Russian crude oil—a significant escalation driven by what the White House characterizes as indirect support to Russia’s war effort in Ukraine. The policy combines two measures: a previously announced 25% "reciprocal tariff" tied to trade imbalance, and a new additional 25% penalty, specifically targeting India’s oil imports from Russia. The additional duty will take effect 21 days from August 6, around August 27, 2025. Why the Move? Trump argues that India is effectively “fueling the war machine” by continuing to import discounted Russian oil, then reselling it at profit—thus enabling Moscow’s military campaign. He warned that similar secondary sanctions could be applied to other major buyers like China if peace terms are unmet. India Pushes Back India’s Ministry of External […]
