Ghana’s parliament passes bill to expand crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights

An anti-LGBTQ bill passed by Ghana's parliament, which could derail international aid for the West African country if it becomes law according to an internal government memo, has not yet reached the desk of President Nana Akufo-Addo. In his first comments on the bill's passage, he said Ghana will not backslide on its human rights record, and added that the bill had been challenged in the Supreme Court.

Ghana anti-LGBTQ bill invites world condemnation

<p>Ghana’s parliament, on Wednesday (Feb 28), passed a controversial bill to severely restrict LGBTQ rights in the country a week after it rejected a proposal to water down some of its measures including non-custodial sentences such as counselling for gay sex instead of jail terms.</p>

<p>The bill, which has been widely condemned by rights activists, still needs to be signed by the president before it becomes law.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So far, President Nana Akufo-Addo has neither confirmed nor denied that he would pass the ‘Human Sexual Rights and Family Values’ bill, but he is widely expected to do so. However, observers, as per AFP, believe it is unlikely before an election in December.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The president has said that it would sign the bill if the majority of Ghanaians want him to.</p>

<p>Ghana, the second-largest producer of cocoa in the world, may not be able to fulfill some of its crop contracts for a second season due to weak harvest, raises the possibility of a global shortage, according to a report by Bloomberg.</p>

<p>Sources familiar with the situation, told Bloomberg that farmers in Ghana are anticipated to harvest the least amount in 13 years during the season ending next month, falling short of official projections by almost a quarter. According to them, the shortfall is preventing the industry’s regulator from fulfilling current contracts and forcing it to postpone the supply of 44,000 metric tons of cocoa for future harvests.</p>

<p>The decision would put additional pressure on the world’s cocoa markets, where prices have increased this year due to extreme weather, which has reduced output among leading growers. The 2017 main-crop harvest in Ivory Coast, the greatest exporter in the world, is predicted to decrease by about a fifth from the previous year.</p>

<p>The actual harvest is now expected to be around 650,000 tons, down from the initial estimate of 850,000 tons by the Ghana Cocoa Board, which was hampered by a lack of fertilizers, spraying chemicals, and sales to the neighboring Ivory Coast, where a stronger currency offers better returns for farmers, the sources said. They said that the regulator had already renewed around 40,000 tons of contracts during the previous season.</p>

<p>Leading producers’ output problems will probably put the globe on track for a third consecutive supply shortfall. Major chocolate producers have cautioned that, given the rise in wholesale costs, they cannot rule out further consumer price hikes.</p>

<p>The problem for Ghana comes on top of difficulties in trying to secure funds to buy beans for the crop in the years 2023–2024, highlighting worries about the debt crisis in the West African country. The Ghana Cocoa Board is looking for additional methods of funding the upcoming season, which begins on October 1.</p>

Ghana is battling its worst economic crisis in a generation, amid a currency crisis that has worsened the nation’s fiscal position. The Ghanaian currency, Cedi, became the worst-performing currency in the world after it lost 45.1 percent of its value to the dollar in 2022. And in Nigeria, the central bank has extended the timeline to swap out its old currency for re-designed notes after the change triggered a cash shortage, forcing businesses to close and leaving millions unable to withdraw their money. What's causing this tumble and what really happens to the old, dilapidated currency notes?

<p>Uruguay started with a poor show at the World Cup debut in Qatar 2022. While they were unable to score against South Korea and had to settle for a draw, they lost by 0-2 to Portugal. Ghana defeated South Korea 3-2. South Korean fans will be watching this match closely because it will determine their qualification, assuming they easily defeat Portugal.</p>

<h2><strong>Ghana form</strong></h2>

<p>Ghana has scored five goals in two matches, trying to demonstrate the type of attacking football they are playing at the FIFA World Cup 2022. They have, however, conceded five times, exposing flaws in their defence. Ghana is unlikely to be concerned with defensive strategies and will instead concentrate on what they do best: attack. A win here guarantees them a spot in the next round. They may qualify even if they draw or lose, but the Black Stars will almost certainly go for the kill in order to avenge 2002.</p>

<p>Uruguay would be delighted to move ahead again this time, denying Ghana the opportunity to become the first and only African country to reach the World Cup semifinals 12 years ago. If South Korea loses to Portugal, Uruguay would advance with three points. If both teams win, the second place in the group will be determined by goal differential. Japan (-1) is currently in a better position than Uruguay (-2). In addition, for the first time since 1974, Uruguay faces losing two group-stage games in a World Cup.</p>

Uruguay started with a poor show at the World Cup debut in Qatar 2022. While they were unable to score against South Korea and had to settle for a draw, they lost by 0-2 to Portugal. Ghana defeated South Korea 3-2. South Korean fans will be watching this match closely because it will determine their qualification, assuming they easily defeat Portugal. Ghana form Ghana has scored five goals in two matches, trying to demonstrate the type of attacking football they are playing at the FIFA World Cup 2022. They have, however, conceded five times, exposing flaws in their defence. Ghana is unlikely to be concerned with defensive strategies and will instead concentrate on what they do best: attack. A win here guarantees them a spot in the next round. They may qualify even if they draw or lose, but the Black Stars will almost certainly go for the kill in order to avenge 2002. 👊🏾 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗗𝗔𝗬 - #FIFAWorldCup 🇬🇭 𝗚𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗔 🆚 𝗨𝗥𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗬 🇺🇾 ⏱️ 15:00 GMT 🏟️ Al Janoub Stadium 🤜🏾 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗡 #BlackStars 🤛🏾#TeamGhana | #FIFAWorldCup| #Qatar2022 pic.twitter.com/jzzDZ1ipmm — 🇬🇭 Black Stars (@GhanaBlackstars) December 2, 2022 × Uruguay form Uruguay would be delighted to move ahead again this time, denying Ghana the opportunity to become the first and only African country to reach the World Cup semifinals 12 years ago.

<p><strong>Portugal v Ghana FIFA World Cup 2022 match preview:</strong> Portugal will face off against Ghana, an African superpower, on 24 November, in an effort to get their FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign off to a strong start. Cristiano Ronaldo and his team will be the centre of attention as they attempt to establish their dominance over the competition. Additionally, this will be Ronaldo's first game since his recent interview, which infuriated Manchester United's management. Here is match preview and predictions, squad and everything you need to know about the key matchup, with Ghana aiming for an upset.</p>

<h2><strong>Portugal Form at FIFA WC 2022&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Ronaldo, the five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or after repeated World Cup setbacks will be anxious to help Portugal finally win the big one. Despite being a well-known footballing nation, Portugal has only been to the World Cup semifinals twice, in 1966 and 2006, and they haven't advanced past the round of 16 in four of their last five competitions. A Selecao lost to fellow Group H opponents Uruguay in the round of 16 at the World Cup finals in Russia in 2018, and they have only managed to win three of their past 11 games there. However, they did a great job of preparing for the competition by crushing Nigeria 4-0 earlier. Santos's team has struggled to win any of their last three opening games on the biggest international stage, so fast starts have not been a theme for Portugal at the World Cup. Ghana will need to put on their best shooting boots if they hope to get past a Portuguese defence that has only allowed two goals in their last seven games.</p>

<h2><strong>Ghana Form in QATAR&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Ghana has their sights set in Group H. Uruguay has been waiting patiently to keep the Black Stars from making it to the semifinals but Ghana is getting ready for its fourth World Cup appearance since 2006. &nbsp;The African nation has only been eliminated once at the group stage. On December 2, the two sides will resume hostilities. Earlier this year, before Ghana football manager Otto Addo took over, the Black Stars also lost all three of their games at the Africa Cup of Nations. Ghana entered the World Cup having won seven of their last eight games across all competitions, keeping clean sheets in all of those victories, and only losing to Brazil during that run. They also impressively defeated Switzerland 2-0 in a friendly last week.</p>

<h2><strong>Portugal vs. Ghana Head-to-Head</strong></h2>

<p>At this level of football, Portugal and Ghana are not complete strangers. At the 2014 World Cup, Ronaldo helped the A Selecao defeat the Black Stars 2-1, and a similar performance in Qatar would help him in his quest to once again make headlines for the right reasons.</p>

<h2><strong>When is the match?&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The <strong>Portugal vs Ghana FIFA World Cup 2022 </strong>Match 15 will be played on Thursday (November 24) at <strong>9:30 PM IST</strong> at the Stadium 974 in Doha. Portugal vs Ghana FIFA World Cup 2022 Match 15 will be broadcasted on Fox Sports, Telemundo in Qatar, Viacom 18 (Sports 18) in India, on BBC and ITV in England, Fox and Telemundo in USA and SBS in Australia.</p>
