Shabelle Media Network (Mogadishu) 24 April 2011 Mogadishu — One of Somali parliament lawmakers on Sunday said that people of lawless Somalia are facing both conflict and drought ordeals. Khalif Jirre Warfa, a Somali legislator, said in an interview with Shabelle Media Network that the ordinary civilian people live in desperate living conditions caused by the drought that hit many regions in southern and central Somalia. He spelled out people and domestic animals started to perish of starvation and thirst as seasonal rains have failed in last two years

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has expressed deep appreciation to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, for rewarding 200 selected teachers.

The teachers, from some deprived communities in Ashanti,
Brong-Ahafo, Eastern and Volta Regions were rewarded for their hard
work and commitment to duty.

A press statement issued in Kumasi and signed by Mr Abraham K.
Bonsu, Ashanti Regional Secretary of Association, said the
Asantehene’s initiative would undoubtedly motivate and inspire many
teachers to accept postings to remote and difficult areas, where their
services were most needed.

It said the teachers union was particularly excited by the spirit
behind the awards.
GNAT appealed to other stakeholders and institutions to follow
the example of the Asante King to help promote the country’s
education.

Each award winner was presented with solar lamp and charger, wall
clock with the Asantehene’s portrait, insecticide treated mosquito
net, wellington boots, cutlass and certificate, at a ceremony held at
the Manhyia Palace.

They also shared among themselves an amount of GH¢50,000.00.
