MEAT TOO TRIVIAL TO CAUSE CONFLICT-AHMADYYA MISSIONARY

-


Hundreds of Ahmadis converged at the T. I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School Park in the Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi,  their Eid-ul Fitr congregational prayers this morning. 

The congregation, led by the Ashanti Regional Missionary, Maulvi Abdul Hameed Abdulah, to intercede for national peace, divine protection and guidance for the government, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu and healing for sick members of the mission. 

In attendance were members of the Ashanti Regional Security Council led by the Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive, Kojo Bonsu and the Regional Coordinating Director, Lawyer Kofi Dwomoh Asubonteng. 


In a sermon, Maulvi Abdulla condemned recent communal conflict in Bimbila in the Northern region which he noted involves some members of the Islamic faith.

 He was particularly upset about the alleged trivial cause of the conflict which involves meat. 

The Ahmadiyya Regional Missionary emphasized the fact that Islam is all about peace that its adherents must be seen to be lovers of peace. 

For this reason, the leaders of the religion must influence the youth not to aid violent politicians to use cause social insecurity.   

Maulvi Abdulla told the congregation that the challenges that Ghana is going through now are not peculiar saying that it is a global phenomenon which requires Allah’s guidance and direction for the government to deal with.    

He thanked the Asantehene for donating 40 bags of rice and 10 gallons of cooking oil and the KMA presented five bags of rice and four gallons of cooking oil to the Ahmadiyya Mission in Kumasi for the Eid-ul Fitr. 

In a message, the Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive, Kojo Bonsu blamed the June 3 flood and fire disasters that claimed many human lives to misjudgment and human error. 

According to him, government, particularly President John Mahama, has resolved to avert the recurrence of the calamity. 

For this reason, Mr. Bonsu entreated Ghanaians, especially the muslim and Zongo communities to bear with the government to clear all squatters, slums and illegal structures from water ways. 

He urged members of the Islamic faith to use the lessons from the month-long fasting which includes endurance, spiritual fortification and submission continue to reflect in their attitudes and behavior.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
