Ghana donates rice bags to Sudan, Jamaica
Meanwhile, President John Mahama has donated over 2,000 bags of Adidome rice and essential items to support victims of the Sudan war and Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and Cuba.
The donation, made on Friday, November 7, 2025, was on behalf of the people of Ghana. Items included cocoa products, mattresses, polytanks, and other vital supplies.
The gesture aims to provide relief to those displaced by the conflict in Sudan and to victims of Hurricane Melissa, which devastated parts of Jamaica and Cuba.
This act of goodwill aligns with Ghana’s long-standing role as a champion of peace and humanitarian aid in Africa and beyond.
The Sudanese civil conflict, which began in April 2023, is a battle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
It has caused famine, displacement, and accusations of genocide in the Darfur region.
According to the BBC, more than 150,000 people have died, and over 12 million have been displaced, making it one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
