The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has taken delivery of advanced Military Personnel Protective Equipment valued at over $1 million, donated by the Government of the United States.

The items, which include specially designed female body armor, were officially presented at the Command Mess, Burma Camp in Accra. They are intended to enhance the protection of Ghanaian personnel, particularly women, serving in United Nations peacekeeping operations across the globe.

The donation forms part of the Women’s Body Armor Quadrilateral Pilot Project, a landmark initiative launched in 2023 through the collaboration of Ghana, Zambia, the Netherlands, and the United States. The project was established to improve the safety, confidence, and operational effectiveness of female military officers deployed in international peace support missions.
Officials highlighted that the equipment is not only a contribution to Ghana’s defense capacity but also a reflection of the global commitment to advancing gender equality within peacekeeping forces. By tailoring protective gear to suit female body types, the initiative addresses long-standing challenges that female personnel have faced in the field, ranging from discomfort to inadequate protection.

The United States reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Ghana’s military in peacekeeping and security operations, while the Ghana Armed Forces expressed appreciation for the timely support, emphasizing that the equipment will significantly boost the performance and safety of its peacekeepers.
This latest support further strengthens Ghana’s reputation as a leading contributor to peacekeeping missions, while advancing the broader agenda of inclusive security and women’s empowerment in international conflict resolution.

By: Dehandsomeblogger  In a dramatic turn of events at the St. Louis Senior High School in Kumasi, two female students have been caught attempting to break school bounds by hiding in the trunk of a private car. The students were discovered during a routine security inspection conducted by school staff. According to reports, the private vehicle had entered the school compound under the pretext of picking up a passenger through the Bolt ride-hailing service. However, suspicions arose when the driver returned to the gate without any passenger in the vehicle. The school’s security officers, unconvinced by the driver’s explanation, decided to carry out a thorough inspection of the car. Their search revealed the two students concealed in the trunk, apparently trying to sneak out of the school undetected. The foiled escape attempt has raised fresh concerns about student discipline and security breaches in senior high schools, especially in single-sex boarding institutions wher...

By: Dehandsomeblogger  Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has issued a scathing response to the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee following recent remarks criticizing Ghana’s debt repayment priorities. In a strongly worded post on social media, the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee suggested that Ghana's foreign minister should prioritize repaying debts owed to U.S. companies and taxpayers instead of traveling to Washington, D.C. According to the post, “We cannot keep subsidizing Ghana while it continues paying far larger debts to China.” But the comments did not sit well with Ghanaian lawmaker and Foreign Affairs Minister, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, who fired back by defending Ghana’s sovereignty and demanding mutual respect in international relations. He accused the U.S. of hypocrisy, particularly in its lack of commitment to reparations for its historical role in the transatlantic slave trade. “This is very...

By: Dehandsomeblogger  Security analyst Emmanuel Kotin has reiterated his long-standing warning about the poor state of Ghana’s presidential jet, describing it once again as a "flying coffin" and urging government officials to treat the issue as a matter of national emergency. Speaking on The KeyPoints programme on July 12, Mr Kotin emphasized that the condition of the Falcon 900EX aircraft poses a grave security threat to anyone who boards it. “Six years ago, I described it as a flying coffin. That is what it is,” he declared. “Let’s put politics aside. Let’s treat this as a national emergency.” Mr Kotin’s remarks came in response to recent revelations by the Minister for Defence, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, who confirmed that the aircraft is in a deteriorated condition. A detailed status report submitted to Parliament and later accessed by Global Pulses revealed alarming findings from the Falcon 900EX’s mandatory 24-Month/1600 Flight Hour inspection. Among the cri...
