Ghana's Lands Minister Initiates Review of Adamus Resources Licence Revocation

The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources in Ghana, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has established a ministerial committee to review the revocation of the mining licence of Adamus Resources Limited. This decision comes after the company submitted a petition seeking an administrative review and potential reversal of the earlier decision. The minister emphasized the importance of fairness and protecting investments in Ghana's mining sector. The committee, which includes officials from the Minerals Commission and the Lands Ministry, has been tasked with presenting its findings within two weeks. Adamus Resources will have the opportunity to respond to any issues raised during the review process. In the meantime, a management committee has been set up to oversee operations at the company's mining site to ensure continuity.

Ghana Rejects U.S. Health Deal Over Data Sharing Concerns

Ghana Rejects U.S. Health Deal Over Data Sharing Concerns

Ghana has declined a proposed health agreement with the United States due to concerns over data privacy. The deal, which was part of a broader initiative under the Trump administration, aimed to provide significant U.S. funding to support Ghana's public health systems. However, Arnold Kavaarpuo, the executive director of Ghana’s Data Protection Commission, stated that the data access requested by the U.S. exceeded what was necessary, raising issues about the sovereignty and privacy of Ghana's health data. The agreement would have allowed multiple U.S. entities access to sensitive health data without prior approval from Ghana, which was a major point of contention. This decision follows similar rejections by other African nations like Zimbabwe and Zambia, who have also expressed concerns about data privacy and sovereignty.

China Eliminates Tariffs on African Imports, Excluding Eswatini, Amid U.S. Protectionism

China Eliminates Tariffs on African Imports, Excluding Eswatini, Amid U.S. Protectionism

China has implemented a new policy granting tariff-free access to its market for 53 out of 54 African nations, excluding Eswatini due to its diplomatic ties with Taiwan. This policy, effective immediately, aims to promote mutual development between China and Africa. The agreement particularly benefits African agricultural exports such as cocoa from Ivory Coast and Ghana, coffee from Kenya, and citrus fruits from South Africa. This move comes as African nations seek alternatives to U.S. markets following the imposition of reciprocal tariffs by the Trump administration, which affected several African economies. South Africa, for instance, faced tariffs as high as 30%. The policy is seen as a strategic move by China to position itself against Western protectionism, offering African countries a more favorable trade environment.

Report Alleges Over 1,400 Africans Recruited into Russia's War in Ukraine, Raising Ethical Concerns

Report Alleges Over 1,400 Africans Recruited into Russia's War in Ukraine, Raising Ethical Concerns

A report by INPACT has revealed that over 1,400 individuals from African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa were recruited to fight for Russia in Ukraine between 2023 and 2025. The report estimates that at least 316 of these recruits have died in combat. This information contradicts official Russian denials, with Russian diplomats previously asserting that African students in Russia were only engaged in academic activities. The report suggests that some recruits were lured by promises of scholarships, employment, or training opportunities, only to be redirected into military roles. Particular attention has been drawn to Russian cultural and educational centers, which may have served as informal recruitment channels.
