Ghana Solar Eclipse, Total Solar Eclipse, August 2027
The total solar eclipse of August 2, 2027, is more than a rare astronomical event. It is a spectacle of science, a moment of celestial awe, and for many, a spiritual touch-point.
Whether you're a scientist, a spiritual seeker, or simply someone who marvels at the wonders of the universe, this six-minute window of darkness in broad daylight will offer a memory of a lifetime.
Ghana West Africa has been one of the few African countries to witness remarkable solar eclipses that brought daytime darkness and awe to the skies. Here are some notable solar eclipses experienced in Ghana.

* March 29, 2006 – Perhaps the most famous in Ghana's recent memory, this total solar eclipse swept across the country, with places like Jirapa, Wa, and Techiman experiencing full darkness for over 2 minutes. Crowds gathered across towns and cities to witness the event, with schools and media offering education on eclipse safety.
* June 21, 2001 – A partial eclipse was visible over southern Ghana, although the event was short-lived and less dramatic.
* November 3, 2013 – A hybrid eclipse, starting as an annular and becoming total in parts of Africa. Ghana witnessed a partial eclipse, with up to 80% coverage in some areas.
* October 14, 2004, and February 26, 1979 – Also marked notable partial eclipses, though not as widely remembered.

These events have always stirred public fascination, scientific engagement, and spiritual reflection across Ghana.
What Causes a Total Solar Eclipse?
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, fully covering the Sun’s disk from the perspective of some observers on Earth. This alignment can only happen during a new moon, and due to the elliptical orbits of the Moon and Earth, such precise positioning is rare.
The Moon's umbra (the darkest part of its shadow) sweeps across Earth, creating a path of totality. Within this path, observers experience total darkness in the daytime, as the Moon blocks sunlight completely for several minutes.
A New Chapter Awaits: The Total Solar Eclipse of August 2, 2027
While Ghana will not be in the direct path of totality for the 2027 eclipse, the magnitude of the event will resonate globally. For those willing to travel, this will be an unmissable opportunity to witness over 6 minutes of total darkness, the longest since 2009—and the longest until 2114.
When and Where: Exact Date and Timing

* Date of Eclipse: Saturday, August 2, 2027
* Start of total eclipse: Around 10:00 UTC
* Maximum eclipse: 10:07 UTC (peak darkness)
* End of eclipse path: Around 12:00 UTC

At its peak, the eclipse will last an extraordinary 6 minutes and 23 seconds—a rarity, as most total solar eclipses only last 2 to 4 minutes.
Countries in the Path of Totality (Full Darkness)
While the eclipse will be partially visible in much of Africa—including Ghana, which will experience a partial eclipse of 40–60%—the following countries will witness totality, with some enjoying 6+ minutes of darkness:
Total Eclipse With 6+ Minutes:
Egypt (especially Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada)

Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Eritrea, Somalia.
Total Eclipse (Shorter Duration):
Tunisia, Libya, Oman

United Arab Emirates (UAE) – limited areas

Pakistan – western regions

India – Gujarat and parts of Rajasthan

Morocco – coastal visibility
Partial Eclipse Observers:
Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, South Africa

Europe (Southern Spain, Italy, Greece)

Other parts of West Africa

USA President Donald Trump, Israel and Iran war, Middle East
Report reaching DebrichGroup.com indicates that, in a dramatic escalation of Middle East tensions, the United States has directly intervened in the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, launching coordinated airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
This marks the first confirmed U.S. military action targeting Iranian nuclear infrastructure and significantly raises the risk of a broader regional conflict.
Background: Israel-Iran Conflict Intensifies
According to DebrichGroup.com analyst, the roots of the conflict trace back decades, with Israel and Iran maintaining hostile relations since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Over the years, Israel has accused Iran of developing nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian program, a claim Tehran vehemently denies. Despite numerous covert operations, cyberattacks, and targeted assassinations — many attributed to Israel — open warfare was largely avoided until early 2025, when a missile exchange triggered by border clashes with Hezbollah spiraled into a full-scale confrontation.

Israel launched a series of preemptive strikes deep into Iranian territory in March 2025, targeting Revolutionary Guard bases and suspected nuclear facilities. Iran responded with ballistic missile attacks on Israeli military and civilian targets, drawing condemnation and concern from around the world.
The U.S. Enters the Conflict
In the early hours of June 21, 2025, American B-2 Spirit stealth bombers and F-35 strike aircraft, reportedly operating from bases in the Gulf and Diego Garcia, carried out precision strikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites: the Natanz enrichment complex, the Fordow underground facility, and a suspected centrifuge assembly plant near Isfahan.

Pentagon officials confirmed the operation, citing intelligence that Iran was accelerating efforts to weaponize enriched uranium amid the chaos of war. A senior U.S. defense official stated:

“We acted to eliminate an imminent threat. Iran was moving beyond red lines, and inaction would have allowed irreversible nuclear escalation.”

The Biden administration (which has faced domestic and international pressure over its handling of the Iran-Israel conflict) argued the intervention was both defensive and preemptive. In a televised address, President Joe Biden emphasized that the United States does not seek war with Iran but will not allow nuclear weapons to proliferate in the region.
Details of the Strikes
According to satellite imagery and Iranian state media, the strikes caused significant damage:

Natanz – Iran’s primary uranium enrichment facility, was hit with deep-penetrating munitions. Iranian sources claim several centrifuge halls were destroyed, though the full extent is still being assessed.

Fordow – A heavily fortified underground site built into a mountain, was targeted with specialized bunker-buster bombs. Preliminary reports suggest the facility may have been disabled.

Isfahan Centrifuge Plant – Believed to be a key node in Iran’s enrichment infrastructure, was engulfed in flames, with secondary explosions suggesting a hit on stored nuclear components or fuel.

Iran has yet to release full casualty numbers, but early estimates suggest dozens of personnel may have been killed or injured.
Iran’s Response and Global Fallout
DebrichGroup.com can confirm that, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a fiery response, vowing “severe and comprehensive retaliation.” The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it had placed all forces on high alert and threatened to target U.S. assets in Iraq, the Gulf, and the eastern Mediterranean.

Iranian state TV declared the U.S.

Adu-Boahene, Cyber Security Funds Case
The cyber world was meant to be safer—until the money meant to secure it disappeared. Prosecutors in Ghana’s explosive GH₵ 49 million cybersecurity funds case now allege that Adu-Boahene, a key figure in the scandal, failed to declare his personal assets, raising serious questions about transparency and accountability in the public sector.
The accusations come amid a broader investigation into the suspected embezzlement of public funds earmarked to protect Ghana’s digital infrastructure.

These funds, meant to defend against cyberattacks and modernize national security systems, are now at the center of a corruption storm that threatens to undermine public trust in government institutions.
“When the watchdog is compromised, who protects the people’s purse?”
The Allegations
At the heart of the new controversy is Adu-Boahene’s alleged failure to comply with asset declaration laws—a requirement for all public officials in Ghana. Prosecutors claim this lapse is not merely procedural, but potentially intentional, raising questions about whether assets were deliberately hidden to avoid scrutiny.

Legal analysts argue that undeclared assets often signal attempts to conceal income gained through improper or illegal means. In corruption cases, such omissions are red flags that invite closer examination of a suspect’s financial dealings, lifestyle, and influence over public contracts.
The Bigger Picture: GH₵ 49M in Question
The undeclared assets revelation comes as part of a sweeping investigation into the misappropriation of nearly GH₵ 49 million in public funds allocated for cybersecurity development. These funds were intended to upgrade national systems, improve data protection, and prepare government agencies for the growing threat of cybercrime.

Instead, auditors and prosecutors have uncovered a trail of suspicious expenditures, questionable contracts, and irregular financial flows.

Kwabena Adu-Boahene’s role in the administration and oversight of these funds has come under intense scrutiny—especially now, with asset declaration non-compliance added to the list.
Public Outcry and Institutional Response
The Ghanaian public, long weary of corruption scandals, has responded with growing frustration. Civil society groups and anti-corruption advocates are demanding not only legal accountability, but systemic reform. The Adu-Boahene case has become a symbol of the wider challenges facing public governance in the country.
“Every case like this chips away at trust,” said one civic leader. “When leaders can’t follow basic rules like asset declaration, how can we trust them to manage millions meant for national security?”
Meanwhile, calls for transparency and reform within the institutions that handle public funds are growing louder. Critics argue that weak enforcement mechanisms and political shielding allow high-profile figures to escape consequences—something many hope will change with this trial.
What Happens Next?
Adu-Boahene is expected to appear in court again in the coming weeks, where prosecutors will formally present the asset declaration violations alongside other charges. Legal observers say the outcome could be pivotal—not only for this case but for how future corruption cases are prosecuted in Ghana.

If convicted, Adu-Boahene could face significant fines and jail time, and the case may trigger wider audits and asset probes involving other officials connected to the cybersecurity funds.
A Moment of Reckoning
This scandal, painful as it may be, could also be an opportunity—a turning point for Ghana’s anti-corruption agenda. The question now is whether the system will rise to meet the challenge or continue the cycle of imp...

Ghana CedisThe Ghanaian cedi has shown signs of resilience. After reaching lows of around GHS 16.40 per USD earlier in the year, it appreciated to approximately GHS 10.36 in mid-May before stabilizing near GHS 10.60. - Ghanaian cedi symbols ₵.
This rebound is attributed to proactive government measures, including gold-backed reserves and increased investor confidence.
Future Projections: 3 Months, 6 Months, and 1 Year:
According to DebrichGroup.com, the cedi is expected to maintain its current strength, with projections suggesting it could reach GHS 10.00 per USD if supportive policies continue.
Ghanaian CEDI [currency sign: GH₵ and currency code: GHS] is the unit of currency of Ghana.
The Ghanaian Cedi (GHS), the official currency of Ghana, has been at the center of national and international economic discussions in 2025.

Amid global economic shifts, fluctuations in the US dollar, and domestic financial reforms, the performance of the cedi has become a crucial topic for Ghanaians at home and abroad.

This article explores:

The current exchange rate

The cedi’s recent trends and future outlook

The implications of a falling dollar

What Ghanaians can do to support the cedi

Forecasts for the next year
Current Exchange Rate (As of May 29, 2025)
$1 USD ≈ 15.86 GHS

$100 USD ≈ 1,586 GHS

These rates reflect real-time market conditions and may vary slightly between banks and forex bureaus.
How Long Will the Cedi Stay Strong?
The cedi's resilience depends on several factors:
Foreign exchange reserves (including gold)
Export performance (especially cocoa, gold, and oil)
Inflation control
Government spending discipline
External economic factors like global oil prices and dollar strength
If these elements are managed well, the cedi could retain relative strength for the next 3 to 6 months, with challenges possibly intensifying in the 9- to 12-month horizon.
How a Falling Dollar Could Benefit Ghana
A depreciation in the US dollar can positively affect Ghana in the following ways:

Positive Impacts:

Lower External Debt Burden: Ghana’s debt, much of it dollar-denominated, becomes cheaper to repay.

Cheaper Imports: Imported goods from non-dollar economies (e.g., China, Europe) may become more affordable.

Stronger Export Earnings: Exports priced in dollars bring more value when converted to cedis.

Investment Appeal: Stability in the cedi attracts foreign direct investment (FDI).

However, caution is needed, as other currencies could gain relative strength, which may increase the cost of imports from non-dollar sources.
What Should Ghanaians Expect?
1. In 3 Months (August 2025):

From DebrichGroup.com analyst, Cedi might stabilize between GHS 10.50–12.00 per USD if current policies hold.

Domestic inflation could ease.

Slight relief on fuel and food prices.

2. In 6 Months (November 2025):

Forecasts suggest the cedi may face renewed pressure, reaching around GHS 12.80–14.00.

Seasonal cocoa exports may cushion this.

3. In 9 Months (February 2026):

Post-holiday imports and possible IMF loan repayments may challenge the cedi.

Rate could hover near GHS 15.00+.

4. In 1 Year (May 2026):

If government spending increases ahead of elections, the cedi could weaken further to around GHS 17–20 per USD.

If fiscal discipline is maintained, the rate could remain under GHS 15.

Priscy, QueenLet, Afua Asantewaa,

Afua Asantewaa didn’t just sing for Sing-A-Thon records—she sang for recognition, resilience, and roots. But after being accused by TikToker Priscy of using her sing-a-thon for business and fraud, her silence broke in a bold, passionate message.

As the dust settles, gospel minister QueenLet emerges as a poised contender for her own record-breaking feat. This is the sound of three women defining 2024’s cultural narrative.
In a moment that has sent waves across social media, Ghanaian media personality, Afua Asantewaa has addressed harsh and personal attacks from a TikToker, setting the record straight in a passionate yet powerful monologue.
Her words, though emotionally charged, are more than a clapback—they are a testimony of strength, vision, and the journey of a woman determined to rise above the noise.
Afua Asantewaa, who captured national attention with her Guinness World Record sing-a-thon attempt, has been the subject of unfair criticism and unfounded accusations, including being labeled a fraud alongside her husband. For a woman who poured her heart and soul into her musical marathon, this kind of online dragging not only crosses boundaries but underscores a disturbing trend—women tearing down fellow women for clout.
In her address, Afua did not mention the TikToker by name, perhaps to deny her the very spotlight she desperately craves. “Women are supposed to support women,” Afua stated, “not drag each other down.” Her call is clear: in an era where digital platforms can amplify voices, we must choose to amplify the right ones—those rooted in truth, integrity, and empowerment.
This moment also casts a powerful spotlight on another Ghanaian woman of vision and voice—QueenLet, the spirit-filled gospel artist preparing for her own Guinness World Record sing-a-thon submission. Unlike Afua, whose attempt was ultimately not certified, QueenLet’s journey has just begun. But the foundation is different: one laid not in noise, but in preparation, strategy, and a prayerful commitment to excellence.
Two Women. One Purpose. Different Journeys.
What unites Afua Asantewaa and QueenLet is more profound than their Guinness aspirations—it’s their courage. To dream out loud. To sing until their voices give out. To represent Ghana on a global stage where women’s efforts are often scrutinized more than celebrated.
Afua’s raw words, though born from frustration, carry a deeper message. “They wish they had what I have,” she said. That “what” isn’t just fame—it’s vision. It’s impact. It’s legacy. QueenLet too, stands in that lineage. As she prepares to submit her own record-breaking gospel marathon, let it be known: this is not a competition between women, but a continuum of greatness.
Both women are examples of what it means to break barriers in the face of ridicule. Afua Asantewaa’s experience is not a failure—it’s a chapter. And QueenLet’s forthcoming sing-a-thon is not just a record attempt—it’s a message. A message to young African women that their voice matters. That endurance is power. And that no TikTok critique can silence a song born of purpose.
In the end, Afua said it best: “We are thinking. We are visionaries.” Indeed. And visionary women don’t compete—they complete a legacy.

Below is the full text of Afua Asantewaa's Video:

"Sometimes I chant on videos, discussing me, and all that like this, I don't want to use the word stupid, because I'm a lady. Sometimes I want to respond to some of these comments, and that's why I don't want to mention her name here, because I feel like I'm going to give her the platform that she's hungrily seeking. You get it? And for such a lady who is busy looking for a career on TikTok, to call my husband and I fraudsters. A girl like that, me obaa,
