Accra–Kumasi Expressway Project
This historic project marks Ghana’s first true expressway, a modern high-speed corridor linking Accra and Kumasi.
Stretching almost 200 kilometres from the coast to the forest belt, the expressway will transform travel and trade, cut journey times significantly, and boost growth across the southern regions.
The route runs southeast to northwest through the Greater Accra, Eastern, and Ashanti regions, touching key towns like Adeiso, Asamankese, Akim Oda, Ofoase, and Kwaso.
In total, the highway covers 198.7 kilometres, including 23 kilometres of urban connecting sections in Accra and Kumasi built to a 4-lane standard at 60 kilometres per hour, and a 175-kilometre main expressway of 6 lanes designed for speeds up to 120 kilometres per hour.
It will stand as a symbol of Ghana’s commitment to modernisation, connectivity, and inclusive growth.
TRAORÉ: 'STOP USING BLACK PEOPLE AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE'
Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré laid it out for US Africa Command (AFRICOM) General Michael Langley: Stop betraying Black people.
He gave such comments during an interview with news outlet Sputnik Afrique on 12 May in Moscow in response to Langley’s comments on 3 April to the US Senate Committee on Armed Services that Traoré was using recently reclaimed gold reserves to protect a ‘junta regime.’
Langley’s claim enraged Africans worldwide, prompting video messages on social media platforms. Then, solidarity protests broke out on 30 April in Burkina Faso and worldwide, including in cities such as London, Paris, and Accra.
However, as Traoré pointed out in this clip, Langley is not the first Black person to work in service of imperialism, as US President Barack Obama destabilised Libya with a 2011 US-led NATO invasion.
Have you noticed Black people working as agents of Western imperialism? What other examples can you think of?
