Ghana Security Forces Say Separatist Killed In Shootout

Ghana’s security forces killed one member of a separatist group in a shootout after they attacked police stations in the east of the country, the police and army said late Friday.

Officials said members of the Homeland Study Group Foundation (HSGF) — which wants to establish a new nation in eastern Ghana — launched assaults on two police stations and blocked roads to the Volta region at dawn on Friday.

“In response to these unlawful acts, a joint Military-Police Team, in conjunction with other security agencies deployed to the affected areas and succeeded in apprehending 31 members of the Group,”
