 Ghana's president, in New York, says US is 'normalizing' the erasure of Black history Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, ​speaking in New York on Tuesday, criticized the U.S. administration for what he described as normalizing the ‌erasure of Black history, warning that such policies could have ripple effects elsewhere. Since his return to power, U.S. President Donald Trump has targeted U.S. cultural and historical institutions - from museums to monuments to national parks - to remove what he calls "anti-American" ideology, Reuters reported. His declarations and executive orders ​have led to the dismantling of slavery exhibits, the restoration of Confederate statues and other moves that civil ​rights advocates say could reverse decades of social progress. "These policies are becoming a template for ⁠other governments as well as some private institutions," Mahama said, speaking at an event on slavery reparations at the ​United Nations. "At the ...

 Terrorist attack in Burkina kills at least 14 soldiers: Security sources


A terrorist attack on a military post killed at least 14 soldiers in northern Burkina Faso, which has seen a flare-up in violence in recent weeks, security officials told AFP on Tuesday.


Al-Qaeda's branch in the Sahel claimed responsibility for the attack in Bagade on Saturday.


Burkina Faso has endured deadly attacks by terrorists affiliated to Al-Qaeda for more than a decade, particularly in the north.


After a relative lull in the west African country, the attacks have resumed recently.


One security official, who asked not to be named, gave a "provisional toll" of "14 soldiers killed and many others missing" after the latest attack.


Counter-offensive


"Every effort has been made to 'neutralise' the individuals who carried out the attack," another security official said, also speaking anonymously.


"Many of them were killed during the counterattack."


WAMAPS, a group of west African journalists specialising in security news in the Sahel, said "nearly 20" soldiers and civilian volunteer fighters who support the military (VDPs) could have died.


It said JNIM had released "a shocking video showing around 15 dead soldiers, some of whom had been burned alive".


VDPs, or Volunteers for the Defence of the Fatherland, are civilian auxiliaries of the army engaged in combatting extremists.
