| Ghana Union in Stockholm to celebrate 30th anniversary: The first organisation of Ghanaians in Stockholm, indeed, in Sweden, is now 30 years old. It all started on the 14th of May, 1983, when a group of Ghanaians met at the home of Enoch Ablorh to discuss the formation of a union. There were only few Ghanaians in Stockholm at that time and it was easy to gather most of them around. The union grew in strength and reached its heights in the mid-nineties. By then, more Ghanaians had moved to the city. This enabled the formation of other unions of Ghanaians based on other criteria. Ghana Union is, today, one of the oldest unions of Africans in Stockholm having had a non-broken existence for 30 years. This will be celebrated this weekend at Rinkeby Folkets hus. All are invited to the ceremony that will feature African artists and a raffle. Read more about the history of Ghana Union, Stockholm and the festival this weekend... |

Ghanaian held after Italy pickaxe rampage: An illegal immigrant has gone on the rampage with a pickaxe in the Italian city of Milan, killing a passer-by and wounding four others. A suspect has been arrested and named as Mada Kabobo, a 21-year-old Ghanaian. A 40-year-old man was killed in the attack. Two of the four people injured are said to be in a critical state. The incident has revived a long-running debate over illegal immigrants in Italy. The motive for Saturday morning's attack remains unclear. Police say Mr Kabobo was in the country illegally, and had previously been arrested over a variety of alleged offences including theft and robbery. |

| Secret deals plundering Africa - Kofi Annan: Tax avoidance, secret mining deals and financial transfers are depriving Africa of the benefits of its resources boom, ex-UN chief Kofi Annan has said.
Firms that shift profits to lower tax jurisdictions cost Africa $38bn (£25bn) a year, says a report produced by a panel he heads. "Africa loses twice as much money through these loopholes as it gets from donors," Mr Annan told the BBC. It was like taking food off the tables of the poor, he said. Read more... |

| Repatriation of Eritreans suspended for now: The Swedish Police have decided to suspend the repatriation of refugees to Eritrea. This was contained in an e-mail sent to all police stations in the country. Sören Clerton, chief of the Central Border Control unit of the National Police Force, was quoted as saying that Migrationsverket has planned to stop this type of forced repatriations. He added that the police have had discussions with Migrationsverket and Amnesty International about the human rights situation in Eritrea. Almost all Eritreans who seek asylum in Sweden are accepted. It is only in a few instances that people are repatriated to Eritrea. There were 19 such cases last year and four this year. Only two persons per year were repatriated by force. Amnesty International says Eritreans who seek asylum abroad and are denied are regarded as traitors when they return home where they risk being arrested and tortured. |
