The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Foundation has outdoored over 150 projects dotted across the country. The projects, include 113 boreholes, 17 classroom blocks, eight astro turfs, six school dormitories, 14 sanitary facilities, five science laboratories and two Community- based Health Planning Services (CHPS) Compounds, started in 2017 in various communities across the country. The Executive Director of GNPC Foundation, Dr Dominic Eduah, announced this at the inauguration of some of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects at Takoradi in the Western Region. He said, that the focus of the foundation was to impact the lives of 10 million Ghanaians through education, youth empowerment and the growth of the citizenry. The GNPC, Dr Eduah explained, conducted a survey to satisfy the needs of the communities. On health, he told the gathering that, Ghanaian students in Cuba would back in Ghana next year, as medical doctors, among 112 Cuban nationals from that country. He said the GNPC Foundation sponsored 200 Ghanaian students to Cuba to help of bridging the gap between patients – doctor ratio in Ghana . “There are Ghanaians making Ghana proud in Cuba. It’s part of the scholarship we are giving out as far as health is concerned. We set out this agenda to impact four million lives seven years ago, and I am here to inform you that, per our needs assessment, we are very much on track,” Dr Eduah added. On scholarships, he said, there were testimonies of about 40 health professionals in various universities. He indicated that candidates were carefully selected by the Ministry of Health from remote areas with being 30 specialists, who had completed their studies. Dr Eduah mentioned that the emergency ward at the Saltpond Government Hospital, has also been improved. He added that based on needs assessments, the GNPC foundation had changed the situation in areas without ultra -modern sanitary facilities or constant water supply, saying that, in some communities which were provided with boreholes, animals came feed in the water sources. Chairman of GNPC Board, Freddie Blay praised the GNPC Foundation for several projects that have made significant impacts in the country. He applauded Dr Eduah for using the small percentage of the oil revenue for these projects, stressing “The projects and other initiatives are geared towards improving the living standards of Ghanaians.” The Omanhene of Gwira, Awulae Angama Tu Agyan, noted that the presence of stakeholders underscored “our collective commitment to advancing the socio- economic development of our beloved nation.” The GNPC Foundation, he said, had steadfastly pursued its mission to create lasting and positive impact under its three core pillars – environment and social amenities, education and training and economic empowerment. Awulae Tu Agyan added: “The project we are inaugurating today, are testaments to their education and the tangible outcomes of their strategic initiatives. The focus on environment and social amenities demonstrate their commitment to improve the quality of life for Ghanaians.” FROM CLEMENCE ADZEI BOYE, TAKORADIDonald Trump has threatened to seize the Panama Canal, revived calls to buy Greenland and joked about annexing Canada -- leaving the world guessing once again whether he is serious or not. By challenging the sovereignty of some of Washington's closest allies four weeks before he even returns to the Oval Office, the US-president elect has underscored his credentials as global disruptor-in-chief. His comments have renewed fears from his first term that Trump will end up being harsher on US friends than he is on adversaries like Russia and China. But there are also suspicions that billionaire tycoon Trump is looking for leverage as part of the "art of the deal" -- and that the former reality television star is grabbing headlines to look strong at home and abroad. "It's hard to tell how much of this he really wants, and how much is the latest soundbite that will be heard around the world," said Frank Sesno, a professor at George Washington University and former White House correspondent. "He puts other leaders in position of having to figure out what is literal and what is not," he told AFP. The idea of buying Greenland is not a new one for Trump. He also raised the prospect of purchasing the vast strategic island, a Danish territory, during his first term in office. He revived his push over the weekend when naming his ambassador to Copenhagen, saying the "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity" for US national security. But he received the same answer this time as he did then, with Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede saying on Monday that the resource-rich island was "not for sale." Yet his most headline-grabbing remarks have been on Panama, as he slammed what he called unfair fees for US ships passing through and threatened to demand control of the Panama Canal be returned to Washington. Trump said on Sunday that if Panama did not agree "then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America -- in full, quickly and without question." He also hinted at China's growing influence around the canal, which was built by the United States in 1914 to link the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It was returned to Panama under a 1977 deal. Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino dismissed Trump's threats, saying that "every square meter" of the canal would remain in Panamanian hands. Trump responded on TruthSocial: "We'll see about that!" More from this section Trump also teased neighboring Canada last week that it would be a "great idea" to become the 51st US state -- but against a dark backdrop of threatened tariffs. Sesno said it was hard for other countries to know how to deal with Trump's comments. "Well, it's clearly a joke. Or is it? said Sesno. "Imagine if you're the President of Panama, how do you react to something like that? You can't ignore it and your country will not let you. So the ripple effect of these comments is extraordinary." Trump's harsh treatment of US allies also stands in stark contrast to his repeated praise for the leaders of US foes -- including Russia's Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine in 2022 in a bid for a land-grab. But there is still likely to be method behind Trump's rhetoric. "Maybe the message is for China" when Trump talks about buying Greenland, said Stephanie Pezard, senior political scientist with the Rand Corporation. Just as Trump expressed concern about Beijing's influence in Panama, China's growing presence in the Arctic and its ties with Russia were "something that the US is really worried about," Pezard told AFP. But there could also be a signal to Denmark that 'If you're too friendly with China, you'll find us in your way" -- even though Denmark and Greenland had been "very good NATO allies." And perhaps Trump knows the reality. Any US plan to "buy" Greenland would be unfeasible "not just in international law but more broadly in the global order that the US has been trying to uphold," she said. dk/bgs
Scottie Scheffler named PGA Tour player of the year
Louisville will aim to end a three-game losing streak when it hosts UTEP on Wednesday, but beating the Miners may not be an easy feat. UTEP (6-2) comes to the Derby City winners of three straight, most recently beating Seattle 88-72 on Saturday. The Miners shot 56.1 percent (32 of 57) and used a 24-2 first-half run to essentially put the game away. Coach Joe Golding said that first-half performance may have been UTEP's best in his four years leading the school. "I thought offensively and defensively the first 20 minutes we were really locked in and ready to go. (The game) never got close," he said. "We kept it at 20-plus points for the majority of the game. Our ball movement was terrific." Ahamad Bynum led the Miners with 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting off the bench, while Otis Frazier III added 18 points and five assists. Frazier (13.6 points per game) and Bynum (12.1 ppg) are among four UTEP players averaging in double figures. Bynum leads the country shooting 63.3 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, though he has attempted just 30 threes, making 19. Louisville (5-4) also started hot in its last game but could not sustain its momentum in a 76-65 home loss to then-No. 9 Duke on Sunday. Coach Pat Kelsey's team, which had just seven players healthy, made 10 of its first 14 shots to build a 30-16 lead before the Cardinals' lack of depth caught up to them. Louisville shot just 9-of-37 (24.3 percent) after its hot start and was outscored 43-28 after halftime. Terrence Edwards Jr. paced the Cardinals with 21 points in his first game as a reserve this season. Edwards (11.9 ppg) is one of four Louisville scorers averaging double figures, led by Chucky Hepburn leads the team in scoring (14.3 ppg) and is second in the country with 3.2 steals per game. The Cardinals entered the season with expectations of rotating 10 or more players to utilize Kelsey's up-tempo attack. However, swingman Kasean Pryor (knee) and guard Koren Johnson (shoulder) will both miss the rest of the season, while forward Aboubacar Traore (arm) is out indefinitely. After Sunday's loss, Kelsey did not rule out adding players to the roster during the season. "Everything's on the table," he said. "I don't sleep, figuring out what buttons to push to get this team to be the best that they can be. We'll scour every inch of the Earth to figure out how we can improve our team. And whether that happens or not, I have no idea, but I'm willing to try anything." --Field Level Media

A Zimbabwean expert in international relations and political science has linked allegations of cooperation between the Kiev regime and transnational criminal networks in training militants to "broader Western strategies" aimed at undermining Russian partnerships and influence in Africa and Middle Eastern countries such as Syria. Dr. Mahuku framed the alleged collaboration as a form of proxy warfare and characterized the actions as a form of neo-colonialism, highlighting the West's attempts to gain a foothold in areas where it has historically wielded significant power. From Russia’s perspective, Dr. Mahuku explained, the conflict in Ukraine is a manifestation of "deeper systemic rivalries" with the United States and the Global North. He highlighted Russia's view of NATO's continued military support for Ukraine as a direct threat to its national security and territorial integrity. The alleged training of fighters by the Kyiv regime for deployment in Africa and Syria, along with reports of Ukrainian arms sales to terrorist groups in Mali, highlight the complex global implications of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, according to the Zimbabwean academician. Dr. Mahuku detailed the multiple ways these actions undermine Russia’s efforts to stabilize these regions . Dr. Mahuku added, "Secondly, undermining Russia's counter-terrorism efforts will result in Russia not being involved in counterterrorist activities in Syria as well as in Africa. [...] It also disrupts regional stability. [...] This contributes to broader accusations of neo-colonial strategies by the West". To counter these actions, the analyst suggested Russia promote a diplomatic narrative emphasizing peaceful resolutions and " encourage Western leaders to support dialogue ". He also advocated for Russia to leverage platforms like BRICS and the CIS to build a coalition that opposes Western destabilization efforts. He emphasized Africa's rising importance on the global stage and suggested that Africa's response to these events could significantly influence global public opinion, fostering a "more nuanced understanding of the complexities that are involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict." According to Dr. Mahuku, reports from Malian media regarding the provision of white phosphorus ammunition from Ukraine to terrorist groups, if verified, represent a serious violation of international law, undermining African efforts towards silencing the guns by 2030 (Agenda 2063). The expert acknowledged the need for thorough investigation but stressed that the sheer volume of weapons supplied to Ukraine, combined with the war's chaos and alleged mercenary infiltration within the Ukrainian military, makes it challenging to ensure accountability and prevent the misuse of weapons. He also pointed to the issue of corruption within Ukraine as a contributing factor to the illicit arms trade.Yankees reportedly agree eight-year, $218 million deal with pitcher Fried
