Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 35119, member: 636"] President Mahama wants ECOWAS to stay a place where everyone speaks up. The group has seen military takeovers in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger recently. Those countries were left to create the Alliance of Sahel States. He talked about this at the ECOWAS anniversary event in Accra on April 22. The president believes the regional group must help restore peace. Mahama asked ECOWAS to find African solutions instead of always looking for foreign help. He said Ghana stands firmly behind ECOWAS values like talking things through. The president promised his country would keep supporting these ideals. He also announced that Ghana will give 1,000 scholarships to students from West African nations. These scholarships will let students learn at Ghanaian universities as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations. [/QUOTE]
