Two African kings made history during a recent encounter that broke centuries of royal protocol. The Ashanti ruler Otumfuo Osei Tutu II stood up to welcome King Mswati III of Eswatini during their meeting. Asante customs normally forbid their king from rising to greet visitors.

Pope John Paul received the same honor from the previous Asantehene Otumfuo Opoku Ware II back then. Royal experts say the standing greeting carries deep cultural significance. Such...

A consumer group wants Ghana's government statistics office to publish import prices and profit margins for products entering the country. CUTS International believes this transparency would help shoppers fight unfair price increases. The organization says people need better information about what goods should cost after importers add reasonable profits. This data would create pressure on businesses to charge fair prices. The request comes as Ghana's currency has strengthened against the dollar.
