What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

Over the past few days, I have received a number of WhatsApp messages from Ghanaians currently in Cambodia, claiming they are stranded and living in extremely difficult conditions.

Some say they are being pursued during immigration crackdowns, while others describe having no money, no shelter, limited access to food, and no means of returning home. The messages paint a troubling picture of desperation, fear, and uncertainty.

One message that stood out was from a Ghanaian named Felix, who pleaded for help and attention to what he describes as a growing humanitarian situation involving Ghanaians and other Africans in Cambodia. According to him, many simply want assistance to return home safely to their families.

I am still gathering information and seeking verification of the claims being made. However, the volume and consistency of these messages suggest a story that deserves attention.

If Ghanaian authorities, diplomatic missions, or anyone with credible information on the situation is aware of what is happening, this may be the time to engage and provide clarity.

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.

It's terribly backward.

It's also counterproductive.

Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

For months, Miracle Aboagye and the denial brigade dismissed warnings about COCOBOD as propaganda. Today, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah says the next NPP government must solve a cocoa crisis. Ordinary Ghanaians are asking a simple question: if there is a crisis now, who created it? Somewhere between GH¢26.5 billion in commitments, mounting debt, and collapsing cocoa production, denial met the ledger. The ledger refused to cooperate.

1. In April, 2024, the High Court convicted and sentenced SEDINA TAMAKLOE-ATTIONU in absentia. In July 2024, the Government of Ghana submitted an extradition request to the United States for her surrender to Ghana to serve her sentence.

2. After over two years of court proceedings, the United States authorities notified the Government of her surrender in January this year. She arrived in Accra on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.

3. Officials of the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Prisons Service have taken her into custody and are making the necessary preparations for her to begin her sentence.

4. Meanwhile, the Attorney-General is scheduled to meet his counterparts at the United States Department of Justice for a bilateral discussion on all pending extradition requests between the two countries.

The Government of Ghana confirms that the President of France will address the Next Steps Conference on Reparatory Justice being hosted in Accra by President Mahama.

President Macron is expected to welcome a good faith dialogue on historical injustice against Africans and outline France's commitment to Reparatory Justice following the landmark adoption of the Ghana-led UN resolution declaring the transatlantic enslavement as the gravest crime against humanity.

[U.S. Embassy Accra @USEmbassyGhana]

Justice has no borders. The United States has extradited Sedina Tamakloe Attionu to Ghana, following her conviction on 70+ corruption-related charges, including embezzling more than $6M equivalent in Ghanaian taxpayer funds. This is our strong U.S.-Ghana law enforcement partnership in action demonstrating a shared commitment to accountability, and the first extradition from the United States to Ghana since 2009. #USinGhana @GhanaMFA

Xenophobic Attacks: Nigeria Not Happy With South Africa - Foreign Minister

“Nigeria is not happy because Nigeria has sacrificed much for the South African struggle for independence. Nigeria sacrificed quite a lot, committed funds, committed resources to aid South Africa.

“In schools, seats were reserved for South African students. My own generation, we carried placards. We demonstrated in front of South African assets,” Odumegwu-Ojukwu said while speaking with journalists.

Video shows the horrifying moment a private jet bound for Texas burst into flames while attempting an emergency landing in the Dominican Republic.

Both crew onboard, the pilot and co-pilot, were killed.

The aircraft had reported technical problems shortly after takeoff.
