Breaking News: Former UN Secretary Passed Away
Former U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, whose term was marked by war in the former Yugoslavia and famine and genocide in Africa, has died, the president of the Security Council said on Tuesday. He was 93.
The 15-member Security Council observed a minute's silence after the death was announced by Venezuelan U.N. Ambassador Rafael Dario Ramirez Carreno, head of the Security Council for February. No details were given.
An Egyptian, Boutros-Ghali served as U.N. chief from 1992 to 1996.
As the United Nations' first secretary-general from Africa, Boutros-Ghali associated himself with the famine in Somalia and organised the first massive U.N. relief operation in the Horn of Africa nation.
But success eluded him there and elsewhere as the United Nations tottered in an increasingly disorderly post-communist world, with the world body and the big Security Council powers underestimating the deep animosity behind many conflicts.
He had a reputation for being prickly, and U.S. displeasure with him was the driving force in his departure.
Earlier, Boutros-Ghali had worked for Egyptian presidents Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak. He accompanied Sadat on the historic 1977 visit to Jerusalem and played a prominent role in the subsequent Camp David accords on the Middle East.
He was criticized for the U.N.'s failure to act during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and for not pushing hard enough for U.N. intervention to end Angola's civil war in the 1990s, which was at the time one of the longest running conflicts in the world.
Boutros-Ghali found himself jeered in Sarajevo, Mogadishu and Addis Ababa. His style was to wade into crowds and confront protesters when security guards permitted. "I am used to fundamentalists in Egypt arguing with me," he told Reuters.
He shocked many in Sarajevo when he said he was not trying to belittle the horrors in Bosnia but that there were other countries where the "total dead was greater than here."
He told Somali warlords and clan leaders to stop accusing the United Nations and him of colonialism, adding that Somalis should be worried that former colonial powers would ignore their plight if they continued to fight.
"The Cold War is finished," he said. "Nobody is interested in the poor countries in Africa or anywhere in the world. They can easily forget Somalia in 24 hours."

272 of the figure have so far graduated.

Breaking News:Liverpool Get New Defender
Liverpool have confirmed defender Joel Matip will join the club as a free agent in the summer following the expiration of his contract with Schalke.
The centre-back has agreed a four-year deal with the Reds and becomes the second permanent signing under Jurgen Klopp following the addition of Red Star Belgrade starlet Marko Grujic in January, who will also link up with the squad ahead of 2016-17.
What will Matip add during the manager's first full season in charge of Liverpool?
That the Bundesliga outfit exhausted themselves in trying to convince the 24-year-old to renew terms is a sizeable clue to how much he is valued at Schalke and how well respected he is in Germany.
Having come from a football family, scouts were already monitoring Matip from the age of six. He had youth spells at SC Weitmar 45 and local club Bochum before Schalke recruited him to their academy in 2000. He turned out for their second team in the fourth tier and made his professional debut at 18.
On his Bundesliga bow - against Louis van Gaal's Bayern Munich - Matip played as a midfield anchor, scored in a 1-1 draw and was named man of the match. The Bochum-born man's versatility would also see him operate as a full-back before he was positioned at the heart of defence in 2011-12.
Matip has been a regular for Schalke ever since and has amassed over 200 appearances in all competitions for the club. He has won two major honours, lifting the DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup in 2011, and could yet add the Europa League to that list this season.
After lengthy deliberation, Matip decided in 2010 to represent his father's country of birth Cameroon over Germany on the international scene. He wore their colours at that summer's World Cup in South Africa and netted against hosts Brazil at the showpiece four years later.
Composed and comfortable on the ball, Matip likes to lead on the front foot. He is familiar with playing in a high line and is a superb reader of the game.
He is strong at interceptions, in the tackle, take-ons, with aerial duels and is not just a solid defender of set-pieces, he is a major goal threat up the other end of the field with 16 of his 17 goals from Schalke coming from set plays.
Having featured in midfield, Matip possesses varied and accomplished distribution skills. At 6'4", he has managed to blend his physicality with poise. Prone to the odd mistake, the Cameroon international is still quite young for a centre-back and has further developing to do in his position.
While he has only missed one game through injury in this campaign, 2014-15 saw him miss 15 fixtures through an assortment of setbacks. With Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Dejan Lovren and Kolo Toure all requiring treatment this term, Liverpool will hope last season remains the anomaly with regards to Matip's injury history.
Liverpool will know it is superb business to get Matip on a free as he could easily fetch a fee upwards of £15 million. During the off-season, Schalke general manager Horst Heldt admitted he was "one of the most underrated players in the game" but knew it would be near impossible to keep Matip in Gelsenkirchen and away from potential suitors.
Klopp was not going to pass up the chance to tie up a deal for a defender with European experience whom he knows well and highly admires - especially on a free!

Fulani Is Threat To Ghana Farmers
The Eastern regional Police Commander DCOP Awuntubuge Awuni has charged security officers in the region to shoot and kill the cattle of recalcitrant Fulani herdsmen who have migrated to the area.
He gave the directive during the launch of 'operation cow leg’ meant to flush out Fulanis in the region Monday.
"I will not take any casualty on behalf of the security personnel who are going there. If there should be a casualty, it must be them. I don’t want you to come with one of you missing, you are not by this directed to fire indiscriminately but my instruction is that you have every right to defend yourself when you come under attack. And my instruction is that; gun down the cows who will be directed to you" he said.
120 security Personnel made up of the military, Police and Immigration were on Monday deployed to some areas of the region believed to be terrorized by the nomads.
The month long operation covers areas such as Fanteakwa, Upper Manya krobo, Kwahu Affram Plains South, Kwahu Affram Plains North, Kwahu East and Dokokrom all in the Eastern region.
For his part, the outgoing Eastern regional Minister Antwi Bosiako Sekyere said the Fulani menace is becoming a major concern in the region and must be dealt with immediately.
“Once again, the nefarious activities of the Nomads are here with us in the Eastern region. Apart from their activities of grazing their cattle on farm land and forest reserves, the herdsmen are also alleged to be into all sorts of crimes including armed robbery, rape, Stealing, burning of farms and worst of it all, killing of farmers”.
He said the regional Security Council wants to be more proactive this time in preventing the escalation of clashes between herdsmen and farmers in the area as it happened in previous years.

UN Candidates Called For Removal Of Ban Ki-Moon
Bulgaria officially submitted Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, as a candidate for the position of the next Secretary-General, said spokesman of President Mogens Lykketoft of the 70th General Assembly.
Irina Bokova, born on July 12, 1952 in Bulgaria has been the Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) since 2009, and was reelected for a second term in 2013. She is the first woman and the first Eastern European to lead the Organization, according to UNESCO website.
Besides Bokova, there are four more candidates so far, namely Srgjan Kerim from former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Vesna Pusic from Republic of Croatia, Igor Luksic from Montenegro and Danilo Turk from Slovenia.
President Lykketoft has committed to running his Presidency in the most open and transparent manner possible. This also applies to the process of selecting and appointing the next United Nations Secretary-General, according to UN website.
Member States are invited to present candidates in a letter to the President of the General Assembly and the President of the Security Council. The Presidents of the General Assembly and of the Security Council will jointly circulate to all Member States the names of individuals that have been submitted for consideration, according to UN website.
An election is due to be held in 2016 to determine who succeeds Ban Ki-moon whose term as the eighth United Nations Secretary-General will conclude on Dec. 31, 2016.
According to the UN charter, the Secretary-General shall be appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.
Ghanaians storm German Embassy
Until September, 2015, the Embassy was issuing two streams of Passports namely express Passports that were issued within seven (7) days of application and regular application that took fourteen (14) days.
Express passports were issued on the same day or within three days while regular passports were issued in a week. The Embassy however, suspended the express passport service in October to manage an exigency.
The Embassy experienced delays in meeting the deadlines since October 2015 due to technical problems regarding passport booklets and later the Passport printing machine. Printing was, therefore restricted to urgent cases with the understanding of applicants. The normal schedule was resumed January 2016 on “first come; first serve basis” and to those proven to be emergency cases such as funerals, child registration, interview for resident permits etc.
As of February 8th, 2016, the Embassy has issued a total of 552 passports for the months of September, and October, 2015, and has been working even on weekends to clear the backlog.
Another element worth considering is the exponential increase in passport applications to the Embassy. The average of about 250 applications a month, increased to over 450 applications from June 2015, presumably due to the influx of migrants in Germany. Obviously these unexpected developments affected the timely processing of applications.
Regarding the acquisition of visas, the Embassy rolled out an online visa application system in October 2015 after a two-month education campaign on the processes. The online application process brought in orderliness and the required controls. It also revealed a number of fraudulent acts and inaccurate information, particularly regarding applications submitted by the so-called visa agents.
Secondly, to reduce cash handling and enhance financial administration, the Embassy encouraged Bank payments for Consular services. A few visas/passports delayed due to the inability to relate the name on the Bank transfer to the applicant (since monies were paid on behalf of applicants without any reference to the application). Other issues that occasioned delays included non-delivery of mails by the post office as some applicants supplied self-addressed envelopes with non-existent addresses.
Another element fueling unnecessary delays is the use of the so-called passport and visa agents who create the impression of shortages in order to maximize their importance and profits.
The Embassy remains committed to serve and protect the interest of our nationals and encourage them to approach the Embassy directly instead of working through the so-called Agents. At the same time, applicants are advised to submit on time request for passport renewal before the expiry of their passports and before purchase of tickets to travel to avoid unforeseen circumstances
Obinim Should Be Called to Book...... Schwarzenegger

Bubbly radio presenter, Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa, popularly known as Afia Schwarzenegger took to her Facebook page and Instagram today to advise Ghana police service to contact Bishop Obinim if they need further answers to what really happened to the murdered MP Hon.
Joseph Boakye Danquah Adu. The MP for Abuakwa North was stabbed to death at his residence.
Satirically, the radio personality stated in her post that Bishop Obinim is the only pastor that works in the land of the dead as an immigration officer.
Few week ago Bishop Obinim was criticised by many people in Ghana for claiming he went into the spiritual world to retrieve an old passport from the Cemetery for his church member.
Valentina, who was paying tribute to the Murdered MP for Abuakwa North, J.B. Dankwa, said he was a very very good man and may his gentle soul rest in peace.
