Ghana’s economy appears to be on the mend, with the latest economic data showing cooling inflation and a national currency steadily gaining value.
Under President John Dramani Mahama, who was inaugurated for a second term in January, the gold-rich West African state is implementing a range of fiscal reforms to balance its budget after years of dependency on bailouts from neo-colonial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank.
Swipe on for details on Mahama’s bold policies to revive Ghana - including establishing diplomatic relations with the neighbouring Alliance of Sahel States (AES).

A regional African economic and security bloc has blocked Rwanda from assuming the rotating chairmanship - prompting Kigali to quit in protest. The Economic Community of Central African States’ decision is seen as punishment for Rwanda’s role in the conflict in eastern DR Congo, with mounting evidence pointing to Kigali using proxies such as the M23 rebel group to destabilise the region and secure its Western backers’ resource interests. But the Rwandan side sees it as a sign the bloc is no longer credible. Swipe through for a breakdown of the key facts.

STUNNING: POLICE SHOOT WOMAN DURING LOS ANGELES UPRISING
A US police officer was caught on camera shooting a woman in Los Angeles at close range during a days-long uprising against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in migrant communities.
Police shot rubber-coated bullets, which has maimed and k*lled people in the past. However, no information is available on the shot woman.
Citizen journalist Alexandria Alott, who had been documenting events in the city following days of widespread protests and state-inflicted violence, filmed the 10 June incident.
More than 33 per cent of people in the Los Angeles metropolitan area were born outside the United States, according to the US-based think tank Vera Institute. While US President Donald Trump hasn’t deported the most migrants amongst US presidents, his rhetoric has sparked dread in their neighbourhoods.

Continued……We are clear US presidents’ long-standing hostility toward migrants ignores the role of colonisation and imperialism in creating the conditions often blamed on newcomers.
For example, Mexican migrants are victims of centuries of territorial expansion and capitalist exploitation. The US-brokered North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico, which came into effect in 1994, displaced 4.9 million Mexican family farmers between 1991 and 2007, according to US-based progressive think tank Center for Economic and Policy Research (@cepr_org on X). The agreement forced 20.5 million more Mexicans to live below the poverty line, as of 2014. It is then no surprise that Mexican immigration into the US spiked by 79 per cent between 1994 and 2000.
Like Mexicans and other groups, some have blamed Haitian migrants for crimes, a claim that obscures the long history of US crimes against Haiti, including three military occupations and looting the country’s gold. Now, about 252,000 Haitian migrants risk losing their Temporary Protected Status on 3 August, a designation that had allowed them to remain in the US amidst the Western-instigated violence riddling the world’s first Black republic.
We condemn politicians conflating migration with crimes, while other politicians stand by and wring their hands, claiming to be victims of right-wing machinations.

GLOBAL MARCH TO GAZA KICKS OFF
In the shadow of what UN experts have called ‘g*nocide,’ a global movement is rising to stop Israel’s bombardments and escalated siege of Gaza.
Israel has sealed Gaza’s borders, blocked aid and flattened the majority of the strip. Yet, activists worldwide are preparing for what may be one of the boldest solidarity actions in recent memory: The Global March to Gaza to demand an end to the siege.
More than 2,000 people from 54 countries and 150 NGOs have pledged to march June 12-15 near the border crossing.
Among the participants is Nelson Mandela's grandson and South African politician Nkosi Zwelivelile (@nkosizwelivelile on IG), who in a video that @africa4palestine posted on 12 June, reported that the demonstrators had been stopped at a checkpoint one hour outside Cairo, with Egyptian authorities confiscating their passports.

Continued…….. African Stream got to interview Saif Abu Keshek, a member of the International Coordination Committee for the Global March to Gaza and chairman of the Global Coalition Against the Occupation of Palestine. He’s helping organise the protest heading toward Rafah, Egypt, the only border crossing Israel doesn’t control.
The march comes as the situation in Gaza reaches a breaking point. Israel's Western-backed military onslaught has k*lled over 62,000 Palestinians and injured more than 120,000, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. However, the Lancet medical journal reported in July 2024 that as many as 186,000 had been k*lled. Further, Israel has bombed hospitals, schools, food convoys and refugee camps. More than 2 million people are now displaced.
The march is a call to reclaim moral clarity in a world drowning in complicity.

BUSTING MYTHS ABOUT BLACK FATHERS
Happy Father's Day!
Whether it's right-wing politicians, the media, or structural racism in the United States, the stereotype of the absent Black father, perpetuated for decades, is simply a lie! This myth remains pervasive despite numerous studies debunking it. That includes a 2011 Pew Research Center study that found Black fathers are among the most active in their children's lives, even when not living with their children.
In this video, journalist Salifu Mack sets the facts straight about Black fathers in the United States today.

ISRAEL K*LLS CHILDREN ON PURPOSE
In a recent episode of MintPress News’ podcast, founder and director Mnar Adley (@MnarMuh on X) had a revealing conversation with US-based Tanzanian ICU emergency-room trauma nurse Willy Massay. He spent six weeks working in critical emergency rooms in Gaza, including at Nasser Hospital in the besieged territory's southern region, Al Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza and the Indonesian Hospital in North Gaza.

Continued……The Nebraska-based nurse stated that 'Israel kills children in Gaza on purpose,' describing the injuries he had witnessed, including children shot multiple times in the head, chest and groin. His testimony adds to the growing body of evidence, including reports from the United Nations and other international organisations, that contradict Israel’s claims that it only targets those who are either H*mas operatives or so-called ‘human shields.'
Ironically, Tel Aviv officials often make statements that justify the collective punishment of Palestinians, a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention that governs civilians' treatment during conflicts. For example, in 2023, former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant announced a ‘complete siege’ on Gaza, declaring that Israel was ‘fighting human animals.’
According to the UN's statement in January 2024, only 17 out of 36 hospitals remained partially functional by early December 2024. In early 2024, Israel conducted an air raid on Al Aqsa Hospital. Workers there say Israeli forces also tortured and beat them. In May 2025, Israel struck Indonesian Hospital. Nasser Hospital remains South Gaza’s last major functioning hospital. Still, monitoring organisations have recently called for its protection due to Israeli airstrikes and nearby forced displacement orders. In 2024, bodies found buried at the hospital site reportedly showed signs of torture and execution.

The International Monetary Fund has for a long time been dictating economic and development policy to African countries. It will grant them loans - but only if they privatise their economies and allow Western corporations almost free access to their raw materials and markets.
Since the 1980s, this has been effected via so-called Structural Adjustment Programmes, sold to Africa as the panacea that would set the continent on the path to economic development. Yet it was all a lie and Africa paid a terrible price. The IMF model did the opposite, and the results were disastrous.
This week’s Facts of the Week highlights how the Fund’s policies were always designed to lock African countries into poverty.
