Thomas partey Faces Potential Hostile Reception Upon Return to North London

LONDON ⁤ – Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is set to‍ return to⁣ North London amid ongoing legal proceedings in Spain, perhaps facing a hostile reception from fans.The Ghanaian international is currently playing ⁣for Real Oviedo on loan, but‍ is expected back at Arsenal following the end of the Spanish season. This comes ⁣as Spanish authorities⁤ continue to ‌investigate allegations of⁤ sexual assault against him, prompting strong reactions from⁣ supporters and raising questions about ⁢the club’s handling‌ of the situation.

The case centers around allegations made in ​september 2023,leading to a formal complaint and​ ongoing ‍investigation. While Partey maintains⁤ his innocence, the accusations have sparked significant debate, notably regarding whether a player ⁢facing such serious charges ‍should be welcomed back into the Premier League. The⁤ situation is particularly sensitive for Arsenal, given the club’s stated commitment to inclusivity and respect.

Partey has made five appearances for Real Oviedo since joining‍ the Spanish side on loan.News⁢ of‍ his ⁢potential return to Arsenal has already begun⁤ to‍ generate ‌discussion amongst the club’s fanbase, ‍with ⁢opinions sharply divided.

“It’s a complicated issue because, in football terms, we all agree that it’s⁣ a great opportunity,” said⁢ Cesar Pena, president of‍ the Villarreal supporters’ club in Villafranca ⁣de Barros, Extremadura, in comments to The​ Athletic. “He’s a top-level player who has proven himself to all Spaniards – ‍for example, in ‌this year’s Champions League tie against Real Madrid.”

Though, Pena also reflected⁤ the concerns of many fans, stating, “My personal opinion⁤ is the same as that expressed by most fans on social‍ media: I would not agree to sign a player accused of such⁤ serious crimes, and I would⁤ understand if the fans booed the player on the ‍pitch. I⁣ hope ⁢the club takes the fans’ opinion into account, as I believe this is not just a matter of improving the squad. Though, whatever the outcome of the trial, if thay sign him, most fans will not agree with ⁢it, even if he is ultimately found not guilty.”

The athletic ⁣has disabled comments on its ⁤coverage of the story to avoid potential breaches of UK law,citing previous instances where reporting on legal cases led to legal challenges.⁤

Judge Orders U.S. to Prevent Deportations to Ghana

by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor
written by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor

Judge Accuses trump Administration of “end-Run”⁤ Around Torture Protections ‍in Migrant Deportations to Ghana

Washington D.C. – A federal ⁢judge sharply criticized the Trump ‌administration Saturday, accusing it of attempting to circumvent legal obligations to protect individuals fleeing ‌persecution and torture. The⁤ rebuke ⁢came following the recent ‌deportation of a group of African migrants to Ghana, with some now facing imminent return to their home ‍countries ‍despite existing U.S. court orders protecting them from such deportation.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan demanded the U.S. government⁢ detail, by 9 p.m. EST Saturday, the steps being taken to prevent the deportees from ‍being sent back to nations where they fear ​credible persecution or torture.

The case​ centers around the deportation earlier this month of over a dozen non-Ghanaian nationals – ⁢including citizens of Gambia and Nigeria – to Ghana. This action makes Ghana the latest nation to accept ⁤so-called “third-country deportations”‌ requested by the outgoing Trump administration.While the Ghanaian government has confirmed the deportations, the legal ramifications are now under intense⁢ scrutiny.

Attorneys representing the deportees allege they‍ are ​being held in “squalid conditions” within an open-air‌ detention facility⁢ in Ghana,⁤ guarded by‌ armed military personnel. More alarmingly, legal filings indicate ⁣that four of the deportees​ have been informed they will be returned to their countries of origin as early as‍ Monday, directly contravening⁣ existing orders from​ U.S.‍ immigration judges who previously barred their deportation due ⁤to substantiated fears of persecution or torture. One individual from Gambia,‌ identified as bisexual by‍ legal‌ counsel, has already been repatriated, according to the lawsuit.

These deportees are protected under both the United Nations Convention Against Torture and ⁢a provision of U.S. immigration law known as withholding of removal. While these protections don’t prevent deportation altogether, they do prohibit‍ the U.S. ‍from sending individuals to countries where they face a genuine risk⁣ of ⁤harm. ⁣The ‍administration’s strategy appears to exploit a loophole, transferring individuals to third-party nations with the expectation ⁤they won’t be sent onward ‌to face persecution.

During⁣ Saturday’s ⁤hearing, the Justice Department lawyer representing the government conceded⁤ that Ghana intends to return the deportees to their native countries, and acknowledged the potential violation of diplomatic assurances allegedly given by Ghana ⁤promising not to send the migrants⁣ to unsafe ‌locations. However, the attorney⁣ argued the U.S.has no authority to dictate Ghana’s actions.

Judge Chutkan‌ expressed visible frustration with this position, labeling it “disingenuous.” ⁣She questioned whether the U.S.government anticipated this outcome and suggested the deportations‌ were a purposeful attempt to bypass established legal protections. She proposed potential solutions, including ⁤retrieving the⁤ deportees ⁣and returning ​them to the U.S., transferring them ⁤to a safe third country, or​ formally notifying Ghana of its breach of agreement.

“How’s this⁣ not⁢ a violation of your obligation?” Chutkan pressed the Justice Department attorney.

Despite her concerns, Judge Chutkan acknowledged the limitations of her authority, noting her “hands might potentially be ‌tied” as the deportees are ‍currently outside U.S. jurisdiction. She also conceded that any​ order compelling action would likely be ⁢stayed by‍ the Supreme⁣ Court.

Ghana Fisheries Bill: Protecting Small-Scale Fishers & Marine Ecosystems

by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor
written by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor

Ghanaian Fisheries Reform: President Signs Landmark Aquaculture bill

Table of Contents

Cape Coast, Ghana – August 22,⁤ 2025 – ​In ⁤a decisive move for marine conservation‍ and food security, the President of Ghana has formally approved the Fisheries​ and Aquaculture Bill, without amendments.This action signals a strong commitment to‌ safeguarding‍ the livelihoods of over 200,000⁢ small-scale ⁢fishers and the ​millions‌ of Ghanaians who rely⁣ on fish as a crucial ⁢food source and economic driver.

A Turning Point for Ghana’s Coastal⁤ Communities

The newly enacted legislation introduces‌ sweeping changes to fisheries management, most notably ⁣expanding Ghana’s inshore Exclusive ‌Zone (IEZ) from six to twelve nautical miles. this expanded zone is⁢ specifically designated for artisanal fishers, providing a critical buffer against the encroachment ⁢of larger industrial trawlers. These trawlers have​ historically been ​implicated in illegal fishing practices,collisions with smaller ‌vessels,damage to fishing gear,and the ​overall depletion of fish stocks.

Hon. Emelia Arthur, the Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, played a pivotal role in championing this legislation. Her dedication to equitable and sustainable fisheries management ⁤was instrumental ‍in​ securing a law that​ prioritizes the well-being​ of Ghana’s coastal​ communities.

Did You ‌no?⁣ Ghana’s coastline stretches approximately ‍360 ⁢miles ‍(580 kilometers) along the gulf of Guinea, supporting a important portion of the nation’s population and economy.

Addressing Illegal​ fishing and EU ⁢Trade Concerns

The Fisheries and Aquaculture Bill is also expected to facilitate the lifting of ⁢a ‘yellow card’⁢ trade warning issued⁤ by the European Union. This warning was prompted by concerns over illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities⁢ within Ghanaian waters. By strengthening measures to combat IUU fishing and enhancing clarity in the fisheries ⁤sector, the Bill equips regulators and enforcement agencies with the ​tools necessary to effectively address unlawful practices. This aligns⁢ with international efforts to promote sustainable fisheries, as outlined in the Food ‌and agriculture Association’s (FAO) Code of Conduct for⁢ Responsible Fisheries [[1]].

Steve Trent, CEO and Founder of the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), lauded the President’s decision, stating: “This new law marks ⁣a turning point for Ghana’s ⁢fisheries and coastal communities. The president’s‍ assent to the Fisheries and Aquaculture Bill sends a clear⁣ signal of leadership, vision, and⁤ commitment to ⁢the millions of peopel who rely on a healthy ocean. By supporting ​small-scale fishers, safeguarding food security, and tackling illegal‌ industrial fishing head-on, Ghana has set a course for a sustainable and equitable future.”

Key Provisions of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Bill

provision Details
Inshore Exclusive‍ zone (IEZ) Expansion Increased from 6 to‍ 12 nautical miles, reserved ​for artisanal fishers.
IUU Fishing Measures Strengthened regulations​ and⁢ enforcement to⁣ combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.
Fisheries Transparency Enhanced reporting‍ and monitoring requirements for all fishing vessels.
Aquaculture Growth Provisions⁤ to promote sustainable aquaculture practices.

the passage of this Bill comes at a critical juncture. Over 90 percent of artisanal fishers in Ghana report declining catches, and populations of key small pelagic species, such as sardinella, have experienced near-total collapse in recent years. Without immediate ⁣and decisive action, Ghana ⁣risks losing⁢ a vital food‍ source and a cornerstone of its‍ cultural heritage.

Pro Tip:⁢ Supporting⁤ sustainable seafood choices can contribute to​ the long-term health ⁤of Ghana’s fisheries and the livelihoods of its fishing communities.

Implementation is Key

While the enactment of the Fisheries and Aquaculture‍ Bill represents ‌a significant victory, the ⁣Environmental Justice Foundation ‍emphasizes that effective implementation ⁣is paramount. Laws alone cannot guarantee change; consistent and robust enforcement⁣ is essential. This requires effective monitoring ⁤systems, obvious governance structures, and stringent penalties for those who violate the regulations. Effective fisheries management ‍also relies on robust scientific data and adaptive management ⁤strategies, as highlighted by the ⁤United Nations Sustainable‌ development Goal 14 [[2]].

What steps will Ghana take to ensure the full and effective implementation of this⁣ landmark ‍legislation? And ​how will the benefits of these reforms be equitably distributed among all stakeholders in the fisheries sector?

Looking Ahead: The Future‌ of Ghanaian Fisheries

Ghana’s fisheries face ongoing challenges, including climate change, pollution, and the impacts of globalization. The⁢ success of the ‍Fisheries and Aquaculture Bill will depend on continued investment in research, monitoring, and enforcement, as well⁣ as collaboration between government, industry, ​and‍ local communities. The long-term sustainability of Ghana’s⁢ marine resources is crucial for the nation’s economic ⁣prosperity‌ and⁤ food security.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is ⁤the primary goal of the fisheries and Aquaculture Bill? To protect Ghana’s‌ fisheries⁤ resources, support small-scale fishers, and ensure food security.
  • What ‍is the Inshore Exclusive Zone⁤ (IEZ)? An ⁢area of the ocean reserved for‌ artisanal fishers, now expanded to 12 nautical miles.
  • How will ⁣this Bill impact industrial fishing vessels? They will be restricted from operating within the expanded ⁤IEZ and subject to stricter regulations.
  • What is IUU fishing? Illegal,unreported,and unregulated ‌fishing activities that threaten ‍marine ecosystems.
  • will this Bill help Ghana avoid EU trade sanctions? Yes,⁤ by demonstrating ‍a commitment to⁢ combating ⁣IUU fishing and improving fisheries⁤ management.

Ghana Bans Foreign Direct Gold Trade: New May 1st Rule

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Ghana is tightening its grip on its gold trade, and the changes could substantially impact both foreign buyers and the country’s economy. The new regulations aim too increase control over gold reserves and crack down on illegal mining practices, which could dramatically reshape the market. Read on to discover how these changes regarding Ghana’s gold trade will affect the future of gold production in the region.

Ghana to Tighten Grip on Gold Trade, Restricting Foreign Buyers

New regulations aim to increase control over gold reserves and combat illegal mining operations.

Key Changes in Gold Trade Regulations

Ghana is set to implement significant changes to its gold trade, effective May 1.The primary goal is to exert greater control over its gold reserves and combat the pervasive issue of illegal mining.

  • Restriction on Foreign Buyers: Foreign entities will be prohibited from directly purchasing or trading gold from Ghanaian mines.
  • Centralized Authority: All gold mined in Ghana must be purchased through the newly established Ghana Gold Board.

Previously, both local and foreign importers possessing export licenses could directly engage with mining companies. This new framework aims to streamline the process and enhance governmental oversight.

The Ghana Gold Board: A New Era of Control

The Ghana Gold Board, often referred to as Goldbod, will serve as the sole entity authorized to buy, sell, and export gold sourced from small-scale mining operations within the country. Circumventing this authority will result in prosecution, signaling the government’s commitment to enforcing these regulations.

Beyond trade control, Ghana intends to maximize revenue generated from gold exports. This move is seen as crucial for bolstering the nation’s economy.

Combating Illegal Mining and Smuggling

A significant driver behind these regulatory changes is the need to curb illegal mining and smuggling activities, which have escalated due to economic challenges. Previous governmental efforts to address these issues have proven insufficient.

illegal mining, locally known as galamsey, poses severe environmental risks. The correspondent notes the devastating impact on the environment:

For mining,whole pieces of forest and cocoa plantations are cut down. In addition, there are also major concerns about the pollution of the rivers: Kwik is used to win gold, which enormously contaminates the drinking water of many Ghanaians. According to researchers,serious conditions are more common in the areas around the gold mines.
Afrika-Correspondent Saskia Houttuin

The use of mercury, or Kwik, in gold extraction contaminates water sources, leading to serious health conditions in affected communities. This environmental degradation has sparked widespread protests, highlighting the urgent need for effective regulation.

Economic Context: Rising Gold Prices

These measures are being introduced amid a period of rising gold prices, driven by global economic uncertainty. Gold traditionally serves as a safe-haven asset for investors during turbulent times.

The correspondent adds context to the public sentiment:

In Ghana, residents have been calling for better regulations around the gold rush that originated in the country due to the rising gold price. In the south of the country, in particular, a lot of gold is in the ground. That often happens in small, often illegal gold mines, they are better known as galamsey.
Afrika-Correspondent Saskia Houttuin

The government’s establishment of the Ghana Gold Board is viewed as a positive step, but its effectiveness in tackling smuggling and illegal mining remains to be seen.

Looking Ahead

The success of these new regulations hinges on effective enforcement and monitoring. Ghana’s commitment to responsible gold mining practices will be crucial for both its economy and the well-being of its citizens.
