Ghana
Taking the shine off: albedo and global temperatures adds Ghana as a later destination for route displacement in the West Africa Cocaine Transit segment. Ori Ogunbiyi says increased scrutiny of shipments from Sierra Leone pushed traffickers toward other countries, including Liberia and Ghana.
Ghana appears in Latin lessons: the Donroe-doctrine boost as a contrast to Nigeria in the Jollof Index segment. The episode says Ghana’s jollof costs have not risen as sharply because inflation returned to single digits after reaching 54% in December 2022 and a stronger currency cushioned import-dependent food baskets.
In the source, Ghana shows that global shocks do not translate mechanically into household food prices. Currency stability and inflation control can change how much diesel, imports, transport, and weather shocks become Food Inflation for ordinary families.
In arms’ way: Gaza-deal sticking points adds Ghana as a radio case. The episode names Joy FM as a major national-news station and says Ghana is trialing DAB radio alongside Kenya and Senegal.
