How The Foreign Media Had Wanted To Destroy Ghana With Fake Ebola News

How The Foreign Media Had Wanted To Destroy Ghana With Fake Ebola News
28.05.2018 LISTEN

As a Ghanaian journalist, readers of my articles appearing on ModernGhana News can clearly see that I write on issues affecting Africa generally, than problems pertaining to my beloved country Ghana. I write about Africa because when it comes to the destruction of the continent, foreign journalists and politicians don't target one specific African country. Their sole aim is to make sure the entire activities including businesses in Africa come to a halt by writing or saying horrible things about the continent. The outbreak of Ebola in Congo has made their destruction campaign very easy indeed.

I was shocked to read in the Netherlands newspaper about 'Possible Case Of Ebola In Ghana.' I know how destructive the foreign politicians and their journalists are, therefore, I was scared to death when I read the article which was published in Dutch and I made the translation.

The Ghanaian president, Nana Akufo-Addo, has to demand questions from the American government if Ebola appears in Ghana I wrote on our Aids and Ebola health blog. However, I made an investigation and discovered this piece of article in Ghana.

At a symposium organized by the Ghana Medical Association on Ebola in Accra, Dr. Philip Amoo, National Technical Committee member on Ebola, assured Ghanaians that there is no Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Ghana since all suspected cases of the EVD investigated at the Noguchi Memorial Institute of Medical Research in Accra have proved negative.

However, it has already been published in Dutch in one of Holland's online newspapers, 'Nu.nl,' translated (Netherlands now) that there might be a possible case of Ebola in Ghana. Reference: http://bit.ly/2modp5S

According to the newspaper after Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia the deadly Ebola disease may now also surfaced in Ghana.

Authorities Sunday tested the blood of a 12-year-old girl on the disease, reports news agency Reuters. The girl succumbed to a disease with symptoms that also occur with the Ebola virus.

In Guinea, dozens of people have died from the effects of Ebola. The disease has also claimed victims in Liberia.

Last week it was announced that people were placed in quarantine in Mali because they had been contaminated with the virus.

Ebola is a rare disease that has no cure or vaccine.

The epidemics are small, but they cause panic because the disease is fatal in 90 percent of cases.

The sick can lose a lot of blood, also through their noses and their urine. MSF has warned of an Ebola epidemic on an unprecedented scale. (The end of the publication.)

I know that it's not true. There is no Ebola in Ghana. I became restless for many days. I sent an e-mail to the President Nana Akufo-Addo's office and to the Minister of Interior Affairs. How good are Ghanaian leaders despite hitting against many African leaders every day?

I received response from the president’s office and the Minister of Interior Affairs over both Ebola and flu outbreak in Ghana, assuring me that there isn't anything kind of Ebola in Ghana. After the e-mails, I gave a sigh of relief.

The Ebola case in Ghana which appeared in the Holland's online news is one of the examples of the interest of foreign journalists to destroy Africa with fake news.
