“I’m going to revive the Film Industry in Ghana”—Kafui Danku
The Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority, Kafui Danku-Pitcher, has expressed optimism in the revival of the film industry in Ghana. “When we grant interviews addressing our problems in the industry, apart from reviving the cinema culture, we also talk mainly about funding and distribution. It runs across most of the interviews; at least 99% of the interviews we grant when we talk about the challenges we are facing. So we want to work towards getting the film fund, and also I am gonna get the industry working again,” she told the host Kwame Dadzie.
Sudanese paramilitary attacks famine-stricken camps, killing at least 100.
Sudanese paramilitary attacks famine-stricken camps, killing at least 100.
The Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has carried out a two-day attack on famine-hit camps for displaced people in the Darfur region that killed more than 100 people, including 20 children and nine aid workers, according to the United Nations.
Clementine Nkweta-Salami, the UN resident and humanitarian coordinator in Sudan, on Saturday said the RSF and allied militias launched an offensive on the Zamzam and Abu Shorouk camps and the nearby city of el-Fasher, the provincial capital of North Darfur province.
The camps were attacked on Friday and again on Saturday, Nkweta-Salami said in a statement, and nine aid workers were killed “while operating one of the very few remaining health posts” in Zamzam camp.
Zamzam and Abu Shouk shelter more than 700,000 people who have been forced to flee their homes across Darfur during past bouts of fighting in the region, according to UN figures.
“This represents yet another deadly and unacceptable escalation in a series of brutal attacks on displaced people and aid workers in Sudan since the onset of this conflict nearly two years ago,” she said.
“I strongly urge those committing such acts to immediately desist.”
The UN official didn’t identify the aid workers, but Sudan’s Doctors’ Union said in a statement that six medical workers with the Relief International group were killed when their hospital in Zamzam came under attack on Friday.
They include Mahmoud Babaker Idris, a physician at the hospital, and Adam Babaker Abdallah, head of the group in the region, the union said. It blamed the RSF for “this criminal and barbaric act”.
