Mining Crackdown in Prestea: Western Region communities are celebrating after SWED Mining moved to chase out Chinese firm Longshine from its Prestea concession, following years of alleged illegal operations, labour abuses and environmental damage; a May 6 operation reportedly led to the arrest of 22+ Chinese nationals despite stop-work directives and termination notices. Local Pushback: Residents of Gambia-Alhassan say Longshine took farmlands without compensation and are urging authorities to block any return. Roads for Rural Access: President Adama Barrow commissioned the 12km Brufut–Madiana–Banyaka–Kunkujang Mariama–Tujereng road, ending decades of isolation in Kombo South and improving access for about 80,000 commuters. Youth Food Systems: FAO held a forum on youth-driven food systems reform, with calls to close the gap between research and policy and to boost irrigation, storage and climate-smart farming. Fintech Spotlight: Wave’s growth story continues to draw attention across Africa, now serving 23m+ monthly users.
