President John Dramani Mahama has appealed to world leaders to intensify efforts toward ending ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, stressing the need for dialogue and lasting peace.
Speaking during Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at Black Star Square in Accra, he underscored the human cost of the violence, highlighting the loss of innocent lives and the displacement of families across the region.
He emphasised that resolving tensions in the Middle East is vital not only for the region but also for global stability and development.
On the religious significance of the occasion, Mahama urged prayers for peace and called on key global figures, including Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Mojtaba Khamenei, to pursue an end to hostilities.
He further warned that insecurity in one part of the world can have far-reaching consequences, advocating stronger international cooperation to tackle violent extremism.
Meanwhile, Aremeyaw Shaibu, spokesperson for the National Chief Imam, called on government to intensify efforts against illegal mining and rising drug abuse.
He cautioned that both issues are damaging communities and jeopardising the future of young people, urging authorities to take decisive action to curb the growing problems.
