President John Dramani Mahama, speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, outlined the thinking behind the Accra Reset and Ghana’s broader vision for a more self-reliant and integrated Africa.
The President said the Accra Reset was prompted by the withdrawal of US$174 million in programmed development support, including a US$74 million annual gap in the health sector, exposing vulnerabilities in critical areas such as medical research, HIV testing and PEPFAR-supported programmes.
He said the experience reinforced the need for African health sovereignty, with the continent building its own capacity to produce medicines and vaccines rather than remaining dependent on external supply chains.
President Mahama also addressed the security challenges confronting the Sahel, tracing the escalation of instability to the aftermath of the Libya conflict, the proliferation of arms and the movement of terrorist groups into the region. He stressed that subsequent military coups should be understood within this broader security context.
On relations between ECOWAS and the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), President Mahama called for continued dialogue and the rebuilding of bridges, noting that the fight against terrorism requires regional and international cooperation. He said Ghana is strengthening surveillance and intelligence-sharing with neighbouring countries as part of efforts to protect its borders.
Looking ahead to Ghana’s 2027 AU Chairmanship, President Mahama said Ghana intends to make the chairmanship impactful, with priorities including advancing regional integration, facilitating the movement of goods across Africa and supporting continental efforts to promote peace and security.

Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
THE FINAL THREE ARE ALL SET
From 174 schools that started the journey, just 3 remain
🏆 St. Augustine’s College — Apsu
🏆 PRESEC, Legon — Odadeɛ
🏆 Accra Academy — Bleooo
The finalists are seated. The stage is ready. The trophy is waiting
September 10. One final battle yet One champion.

GPT-6 Astra is here.
We hope it will begin to enable a new generation of entrepreneurship, scientific discovery, and building.
We believe it is the best model in the world for computer use, professional work, science, coding, cybersecurity, and more.
It took us some extra time to ensure that we could meet the safety and alignment standards required for this capability level, but we think you’ll find it worth the wait.
It scores 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI 3, and 100% on ExploitBench.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity. Our paths crossed once, in the 90s, backstage at a talk show, and I was completely tongue-tied and starstruck. RIP Dolly. You were a complete, irreplaceable one-off.
