We write not just as residents from the three Northern Regions in Ghana, but as citizens of our beloved country, Ghana. Our aim is to respond to the unfortunate statements made about Northerners in Ghana by the NPP Member of Parliament for Fanteakwa, Kwabena Amankwah Asiamah and to make clear to Ghanaians, the NPP agenda towards development in the Northern Regions which Mr Asiamah has decided to make public. Mr Asiamah’s comments on radio that “Northerners have turned the North into breeding grounds of violence”, clearly represent the diabolical views of a silent minority of Ghanaians whose attitude towards the people living the Northern Regions in Ghana is creating serious worries for most Ghanaians.

AMISOM threaten that they will capture the remaining areas of Bakara Market from Somali’s powerful insurgent, Radio Garowe Reports.

“We are now moving toward Bakara, we want to liberate Bakara” Amisom spokesman Mr.Ankunda said in an interview with the Radio Garowe.

The AMISOM troops is continuing savage battles to close the Bakara market, a nerve center for much of war-torn city, in the latest offensive between the TFG forces backed by AMISOM troops and Al-shabaab.

Major Pandy Ankunda also verified that Al-shabaab fired mortars to the AMISOM bases, which causes AMISOM to respond mortar shells to the area near the Bakara market.

Recently AMISOM troops in Mogadishu complained about their salaries but Mr. Ankunda rebuffed.

“The salaries have now being paid, there were some delays because of accountability reason” he said.

This come after T.F.G forces killed head of Al-Qaeda in East Africa Fazul Abdalla Mohamed a in a checkpoint outskirt of Mogadishu.

Somalia president Sharif sheikh Ahmed told reporters in Villa Somalia on Sunday that TFG troops who carried out the operation have done a good job.

However, AMISOM officials said they have nothing to comment about that operation.

“I don’t have details about that operation that the TFG conducted” he added.
