The President of Africa Peace Initiative, a peace building network, Mr Kwame Frimpong has advised Ghanaians to be mindful of trouble makers and war mongers whose interest is to create political turmoil as such people have nothing good to offer the world except poverty, famine, abuse of human rights and other negative social vices in this electioneering year.
Mr Frimpong `is of the view that Africa is in a state of poverty and political instability because Africans have not been so much conscientise about the idea of world peace and its impact on nation building.
He further intimated that Ghana has been referred to as beckon of hope for Africa and it is one of the reasons why the nation cannot fail the world in this year's presidential and parliamentary elections.
He therefore called on all to eschew violence to promote free and fair elections as Ghanaians march to the polls come December 2012.

ANKAFUL PRISONS WILL NOT EMPTY IF UNEMPLOYMENT IS NOT WELL TACKLED
The General Secretary of the Peoples National Convention (PNC), Mr. Bernard Monnah has linked unemployment to the increasing cases of mental health and crime in the country.
He has therefore called for immediate action to be taken to deal with the issue; adding that unless an action is taken to stem the menace out, the nation will continue to see an increasing number of mental cases and criminals at the Ankaful Prison Complex in the Cape Coast.
He disagreed with president Mills that the crime has reduced, rather he urged president Mills to deal with those who abuse power.
During President Mills’ state of the Nation address he disclosed that despite the construction of the ultra modern Ankaful prison, it remains empty due to the reduction in crime cases.
