Why it matters:
Cocoa is one of Ghana’s most important agricultural products, vital to the national economy and the livelihood of millions. With this donation, Ghana is making a strong effort to align with the global wave of solidarity and humanitarian assistance for the oppressed people of Gaza, who are enduring severe food blockades, constant bombardment, and genocide by the Israeli regime.
The big picture:
As the situation in Gaza worsens under nearly two years of relentless Israeli attacks and medical and food blockades, public outrage is growing worldwide. People across the globe are protesting not only the Israeli regime’s genocide but also the silence of Western governments and the inaction of international institutions — demanding urgent humanitarian aid and accountability.
What he is saying:
President John Dramani Mahama: “This is not just a gift of cocoa; it is a gift of compassion.”
“Ghana stands with the people of Palestine during these difficult times,” he added.
Key points:

- The donation was coordinated by Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, COCOBOD, and the Cocoa Marketing Company.
