Ghana be starting something

Nick EricssonNick Ericsson|00:16 UK time, Tuesday, 25 January 2011

Ivory Coast rumbles on - and it seems the country's neighbours are getting increasingly drawn in. On today's Network Africa we are carrying a piece about how furious the Ghanaian government is at what it says is a quote by President John Atta Mills about Ivory Coast which was allegedly taken out of context by the BBC. A clip of the quote was used on last Friday's Network Africa. It reminds me of the stink the Focus on Africa magazine created a little while ago over the inclusion of Jerry Rawlings in a preliminary list of African icons. Where, a number of readers cried, is John Kufuor? And, much like today's waves, the story was carried on Accra's Joy FM. I guess we would be doing something wrong if we pleased all of our listeners/readers all of the time. At least this shows they're there.
