This is General Henry Kwame Anyidoho (born 13 July 1940). He was a Ghanaian military officer. Thirty (30) years ago, he led Ghana’s contingent in UN Peacekeeping Mission in Rwanda in 1994 during the genocide.
General Anyidoho led Ghana’s military to serve in UNAMIR (United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda) under Canadian General Roméo Dallaire. Anyidoho, who had experience in peacekeeping missions in Lebanon, Cambodia, and Liberia, served as the Deputy Commander of UNAMIR, in addition to his role as head of the Ghanaian contingent.
In recorded accounts by the former Commander of UNAMIR General Dallaire, in his book “Shake Hands With the Devil”, General Anyidoho and his Ghanaian contingent were singled out for praise for their courage and resourcefulness. They were given credit for sheltering thousands of Tutsis and Hutu moderates, saving them from death.
When the Belgian government decided to withdraw their peacekeeping contingent, the UN Security Council instructed Dallaire to prepare to withdraw UNAMIR. Dallaire sought advice from General Anyidoho, who indicated to him that he and his Ghanaian troops would not leave. Ghana contingents stayed, against UN orders and protected Rwandans

I was admitted to the school, paid school fees, wrote exams and had my grades. After school, I have to pay to see my grades printed on a paper. SCAM!!!
Piped water networks is not the only way out of urban water crisis in the Global South. @UN_Water, @WorldBankWater@and@IMFNews have continuously led this narrative and modelled our water institutions on this path.
strengthen institutions to monitor and regulate these self-supplied water installation models (individual and community mechanised boreholes, non-mechanise boreholes and wells).
This was my argument in my presentation at the #ISAWCS23@isa_sociology in Melbourne.
#ecas2023 was great. I had an opportunity to present on ´the health and safety practices of informal solid waste collectors.´ My take on this matter was and still remains informal workers deserve good working conditions, and government policies should be geared towards that.
I am a year and half into my PhD and I’m very excited to have presented in major conferences such as #AAG2022, #RC21 doctoral sch and #utado 2022. During the week I will be presenting at #ECAS2023 in Köln. Will certainly share with you all how it goes….🤞🏾.
