Ghana's president was among hundreds of mourners on March 17 who paid their last respects at the funeral of Christian Atsu, the soccer player who died last month in the Türkiye earthquake.

AFP - At least 34 people have died in northern Ghana during flooding caused by heavy rains and waters spilling from a dam in neighbouring Burkina Faso, relief agency officials said Thursday.

Bagre Dam is located on the White Volta river that begins in Burkina Faso and which converges with the Black Volta downstream and feeds into Lake Volta in southern Ghana.
