    GHANA the leader in African Democracy

    Ghana has made history in the first round of her Presidentail and Parliamentary Elections, democracy has been practiced in Ghana as if we were the founders of democracy, our people really understand the electoral process and went about there voting very peacefuly. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A GHANAIAN.

    What is the leason for the rest of Africa? this is the time we need to have more discussions so that places where liberalism is most challenged can learn from some of us who are trying hard to keep human right high

    We in Ghana are preparing for the second round of elections since none of the candidates were able to meet the constitutional requirment of over 50% of valid votes cast. The next election has been sheduled for the 28th december, 2008.

    Ghana Liberal Students Association (GHALSA) Has been very keen in observing the elections. At the end of it all we shall come out with our statement of the whole process.

    Don't hesitate to drop a congratulation message for the people of Ghana and for GHALSA as well.

    Mark Mardell of the BBC news reported: On the Monday the Conference was to begin, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini (who was until last year the European commissioner for security and justice) had told the Italian newspaper Il Giornale that 642-145 Europe's failure to agree on a common approach was "a very serious mistake, because it shows our inability, despite all the words uttered in this connection, to come up with at least a lowest common denominator on a basic problem: namely the struggle against braindump 70-432 discrimination, on behalf of which we in Brussels so often speak out".Frattini continued, "I should imagine that a compromise was preferred at any price. And this, despite the fact that in the documents prepared for the rendezvous in bsci latest dumps Geneva, apart from a few minor improvements, a basic approach has been maintained equating Israel with a racist country rather than a democracy. There are still unacceptable phrases which, if there had been a smidgen of consistency with what was said at the EU ministers' meeting dumps, should have convinced people to forgo attending the conference - as we have decided to do, and as the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and The Netherlands have decided to do."

    The European Union also refused to accept demands by Arab states to criticize Israel for "racist practices." Also in the conference, African countries - led by Nigeria and Zimbabwe 640-721 - and African-American NGO's wanted individual apologies from each of the countries responsible for slavery, recognition of it as a crime against humanity and reparations called as such.
