Ghana? Why was the conference cancelled??

In a surprising turn of events, the Ghanaian government recently canceled the much-anticipated Pan African event, ‘The Convention 2024’, just hours before its commencement at Independence Square in Accra. Despite the government’s initial approval in November 2023, this decision has left attendees and dignitaries from around the world in shock.

The event, aimed at ‘Igniting the Voices of Africa,’ was abruptly called off due to an unforeseen state event scheduled at the same venue. This raises questions about the circumstances leading to this last-minute cancellation and its implications for freedom of assembly and expression in Ghana. What could be the real reason behind this sudden decision by the government?
