Christ’s birth should give us hope– Akufo Addo

The leader of Ghana’s largest opposition party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has urged Ghanaians not to despair despite the numerous challenges facing the country, and instead let the commemoration of the birth of Christ give them hope for a brighter future.

Nana Akufo-Addo in a Christmas message to Ghanaians said “the year 2015 has been a difficult year for the country, but said he has the hope in the ability of the country to rise again.

“We must work towards creating a free and prosperous society of opportunities, where every Ghanaian child, no matter the circumstances of their birth, has a fair chance to strive for a happy and dignified life, and where we can unleash the enterprise of our people so that we can build a progressive, prosperous Ghana whose citizens live in harmony and security.”

Below is Akufo-Addo’s 2015 Christmas message to Ghanaians

My wife, Rebecca, daughters, grandchildren and I extend our warmest wishes to all Ghanaians and friends of Ghana for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Undoubtedly, 2015 has been a very difficult year for Ghanaians, amidst the numerous problems which face us. However, the story of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, must give us hope of a brighter tomorrow.

I continue to be a passionate believer in Ghana’s potential, and I remain confident that, despite our present economic difficulties, we have it within us to rise up and revive the fortunes of our country.

We must work towards creating a free and prosperous society of opportunities, where every Ghanaian child, no matter the circumstances of their birth, has a fair chance to strive for a happy and dignified life, and where we can unleash the enterprise of our people so that we can build a progressive, prosperous Ghana whose citizens live in harmony and security.

As Christmas fills our hearts with gratitude, let us not forget our responsibility towards one another. Let us all celebrate the season safely and responsibly, and remember to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.”

God bless you all. God bless Ghana. God bless Mother Africa.

Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.

Somalia Bans Christmas Celebrations

Somalia’s government has banned the celebration of Christmas, warning that such Christian festivities could threaten the nation’s Muslim faith.

“Those celebrations are not in any way related to Islam,” an official at the religious affairs ministry said.

Security agencies have been directed to stay alert to stop any gatherings.

Foreigners are free to mark the Christian holiday in their own homes, but hotels and other public places have been prohibited from marking the day.

“Having Muslims celebrate Christmas in Somalia is not the right thing, such things are akin to the abandonment,” local media quote Mohamed Kheyrow, a top official at Somalia’s justice and religious affairs ministry, as saying.

Correspondents say as the country recovers from years of civil war, a growing number of Somalis who grew up in the diaspora are returning home, some of them bringing Western customs with them.

Christmas is not widely celebrated in Somalia, which officially adopted Sharia in 2009, but the odd event was held – especially as an excuse to hold a party.

Mogadishu’s mayor, Yusuf Hussein Jimale, told the BBC that such gatherings might also be a target for the Islamist al-Shabab group that has targeted hotels in the city in the past.

Celebrations will be allowed at UN compounds and bases for African Union peacekeepers, who are in the country to back the government’s fight against the al-Qaeda-linked militants.
