*) Israel kills 25 Palestinians in a strike on home in northern Gaza The Israeli army has killed two Palestinian families overnight bombing a home that was sheltering them in the town of Beit Hanoon in the northern besieged Gaza. Eyewitnesses said that the Israeli army bombed a house that was sheltering two families from the Al-Kahlout clan, consisting of 25 individuals, burying them under the rubble. A relative of those killed said that Israel committed another massacre, wiping out two families entirely from the civil registry. He said their bodies remain trapped under the rubble of the destroyed house and in the street as rescue operations are impossible due to the dire security situation. *) Netanyahu says won't end Gaza war 'now' Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he would not stop Israel's war in besieged Gaza "now", even as the renewed efforts towards a ceasefire are underway. Speaking at a press conference in West Jerusalem, he said, If we end the war now, Hamas will return, recover, rebuild and attack us again — and that is what we do not want to go back to". *) Israel violates 1974 agreement in Golan Heights buffer zone — UN The UN has warned that Israeli military activity along the Golan Heights buffer zone in Syria "would constitute a violation" of a 1974 pact on disengagement between Israel and Syria. UN peacekeepers informed the Israeli counterparts that these actions would constitute a violation of the agreement and that there should be no military forces or activities in the area of separation. A UN spokesperson also confirmed that the Israeli army personnel entered the area of separation and have been moving within that area where they remain in at least three locations throughout the region of separation. *) Syria transition must ensure 'accountability' for past crimes - UN The UN rights chief has said any political transition in Syria following the fall of Bashar al Assad must include accountability for him and others behind crimes committed under his rule. Volker Turk told reporters in Geneva that any political transition must ensure accountability for perpetrators of serious violations and guarantee that those responsible are held accountable. Asked about whether Assad was among those who should be brought to account, he said the "former president of Syria and whoever was in senior leadership positions, there are indeed serious grounds to believe that they may have committed atrocity crimes". *) Ghana's ex-president John Mahama returns with election win Ghana's former president John Drahami Mahama has won a historic comeback election victory after the ruling party accepted defeat with voters appearing to punish them for the government's handling of an economic crisis. Following Saturday's election, New Patriotic Party candidate Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia conceded that Ghanaians wanted change after he failed to shake off widespread frustration over high living costs. His defeat ended eight years in power for the NPP under President Nana Akufo-Addo, whose last term was marked by the West African state's worst economic turmoil in years, high inflation and a debt default.

For most people, Ghana's economic turmoil has been at the top of concerns. In 2022 the Central Bank lost $5 billion in one year. The government asked the International Monetary Fund for a bailout and there have been accusations that the economy has been mismanaged High inflation has left many unable to afford basic goods, levels of unemployment are rising and hundreds of thousands of people have been pushed into poverty. So the next government will have the daunting task of easing hardship for millions and getting the economy back on its feet.

Mahamudu Bawumia contre John Dramani Mahama, c'est le duel qui se profile pour la présidentielle du 7 décembre prochain au Ghana. Après deux mandats à la tête du pays, Nana Akufo-Addo se retire conformément à la Constitution. Et la bataille s'annonce serrée entre son dauphin et son prédécesseur. Qui va gagner ? Francis Kpatindé a été haut fonctionnaire de l'ONU au Ghana pendant quatre ans. Aujourd'hui, il enseigne à Sciences Po Paris et répond aux questions de RFI.  RFI : D'un côté, il y a le vice-président Mahamudu Bawumia pour le parti au pouvoir NPP (Nouveau parti patriotique) ; de l'autre, il y a l'ancien président John Dramani Mahama pour le parti d'opposition NDC (Congrès démocratique national). Est-ce que le duel s'annonce serré ? Francis Kpatindé : Je pense que oui. Il y a donc Mahamudu Bawumia, l'actuel vice-président de la République du Ghana, et John Dramani Mahama, qui a été président de 2012 à 2017. Les deux hommes ont plusieurs points en commun. Ils sont tous les deux sexagénaires, tous les deux originaires du nord du Ghana et ils sont expérimentés. Mahamudu Bawumia et John Dramani Mahama sont connus pour leur pondération. Ce sont des gens qui ont la tête sur les épaules. L'avantage pourrait cependant aller à l'ancien président Mahama, notamment à cause de la gravité de la crise économique et de l'inflation qui est imputée à l'équipe sortante. Depuis l'an dernier, le Ghana est passé derrière la Côte d'Ivoire en termes de PIB et de performance économique. Est-ce que ce bilan en demi-teinte risque de coûter des voix au candidat du parti au pouvoir, NPP ? À l'évidence, oui, parce que, depuis 2022, la situation économique au Ghana est grave. Aujourd'hui, l'inflation est très, très grave, même si elle a baissé ces dernières années. Parce qu'en 2022, je vous fais remarquer, l'inflation était de 54%, ce qui est considérable. Sans compter le chômage... Donc, la situation économique est très, très morose au Ghana. Depuis l'an 2000, le Ghana a connu trois alternances pacifiques. Dans ce pays, il n'y a plus de coup d'État alors qu'il y en a toujours au Burkina Faso, il n'y a pas de troisième mandat comme en Côte d'Ivoire, il n'y a pas de cinquième mandat comme au Togo. Comment expliquez-vous cette différence entre le Ghana et ses trois voisins immédiats ? Alors, première chose, c'est l'action réformatrice et vigoureuse — pour ne pas dire brutale — du capitaine Jerry Rawlings à la tête de l'État. Surtout entre 1981 et 2001. Il a été l'homme et l'initiateur du renouveau ghanéen. Le second argument, c'est le caractère remarquable de l'alternance en 2001 qui a permis au libéral John Kufuor de prendre en douceur le relais du socialiste Rawlings. Par ailleurs, les Ghanéens — qui sont passés par une multitude de coups d'État et de crises économiques et financières depuis leur indépendance en 1957 - semblent aujourd'hui beaucoup plus mesurés, plus civiques, que beaucoup de leurs voisins ouest-africains. Comme j'ai pu moi-même le constater au cours des années passées sur place pour le compte des Nations unies. Par ailleurs, si la question ethnique peut se poser lors des élections locales, elle est généralement absente de la campagne présidentielle. Les candidats se livrent certes à des empoignades, ils s'étripent, mais évitent soigneusement de glisser sur le terrain miné de l'ethnicisme. Il existe par ailleurs au Ghaa quelque chose d'inédit, c'est une structure informelle où le président en exercice et ses prédécesseurs se retrouvent pour échanger sur les questions d'intérêt national. Donc, vous voyez, tous ces éléments concourent à conforter la démocratie ghanéenne et à en faire une exception. Comment expliquez-vous qu'il n'y ait pas, dans l'histoire récente du Ghana, un phénomène d'exclusion ethnique comme on l'a vu dans les deux pays voisins que sont la Côte d'Ivoire et le Togo ? J'ai travaillé quatre ans au Ghana et je n'ai pratiquement jamais entendu parler d'ethnie, c'est-à-dire que les différences ne se font pas à ce niveau. Elles se font à un autre niveau, qui est politique, idéologique, qui est lié aussi au système de royauté... Mais pas vraiment en termes d'ethnies. Ce n'est pas un critère de sélection. La sélection se passe au niveau politique. La preuve en est que nous avons deux candidats aujourd'hui qui ne proviennent pas du vivier naturel des anciens présidents de la République. Ils ne sont pas Ashantis, ils ne sont pas de la Volta Region, ils ne sont pas Ewe, par exemple. Et pourtant, il y a des chances que l'un d'entre eux devienne le prochain président du Ghana. En juillet 2009, Barack Obama est venu faire un discours au Ghana pour inviter ses hôtes à suivre l'exemple de la démocratie américaine, mais est-ce que la démocratie ghanéenne n'est pas en meilleure santé aujourd'hui ? Il n'y a pas de doute sur ce point. Vous savez, depuis l'assaut du Capitole, avec les élections qui sont contestées ou encore la presse qui est quasiment méprisée, nous devons maintenant réviser nos classiques, parce qu'on nous avait présenté les États-Unis comme la plus grande puissance démocratique au monde, mais aujourd'hui, ce pays a foulé du pied — en tout cas au moins l'un des candidats — les principes mêmes de base de la démocratie américaine.

Raffiner son or localement est un rêve que de nombreux pays producteurs souhaitent atteindre. C'est le cas du Ghana. En août dernier, le premier extracteur d'or du continent africain a inauguré une toute nouvelle raffinerie. Une infrastructure qui, selon le gouvernement, permettrait au pays de reprendre pleinement la main sur la valeur de son minerai. Mais les obstacles avant d'atteindre cet objectif restent nombreux. Avec notre correspondant à Accra,Une raffinerie dernier cri, capable de traiter 400 kilos d'or par jour, pour un taux de pureté de 24 carats : la Royal Ghana Gold Refinery a été inaugurée en août à Accra par le vice-président Mahamudu Bawumia. « Aujourd'hui, nous ne célébrons pas seulement une nouvelle installation, mais un témoignage de l'engagement de notre gouvernement pour la valorisation de nos ressources naturelles », a-t-il déclaré à cette occasion.En 2023, l'or représentait déjà à lui seul près de la moitié des exportations du pays. Raffiner cette matière chez soi, c'est donc l'assurance d'une stabilité économique renforcée, selon le gouverneur de la banque centrale du Ghana. « Ajouter de la valeur aux ressources aurifères du Ghana nous permettra d'augmenter nos stocks de devises étrangères, d'améliorer notre balance de paiements, ce qui, à terme, nous protégera des chocs et des vulnérabilités extérieures », avance Ernest Addison.Pour vendre son or sur les principales places financières mondiales, encore faut-il que la raffinerie soit certifiée par la London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). Une tâche loin d'être aisée. L'institution attend qu'une raffinerie puisse opérer à un certain volume pendant trois années consécutives. « La raison de cette règle, c'est que maintenir la qualité de raffinage à petite échelle ne signifie pas forcément qu'on est capable de le faire à grande échelle », détaille Bright Simons, économiste et vice-président du think tank ghanéen Imani.Comment intégrer la production artisanale ?La Royal Ghana Gold Refinery est loin d'être la première à tenter l'aventure au Ghana. Toutes sont confrontées au même problème selon l'économiste : le manque de capitaux. « Il y a une douzaine de raffineries d'or au Ghana, certaines plus grosses encore que celle qui vient d'être inaugurée, met encore en avant Bright Simons. Et aucune n'a réussi à atteindre la certification. C'est notamment parce que le raffinage d'or a une faible rentabilité. »Y a-t-il seulement assez d'or au Ghana pour satisfaire la demande ? Le pays a beau être le plus gros producteur du continent, ses principales mines exportent déjà vers des raffineries étrangères, détentrices de certification LBMA. Reste alors les dizaines de milliers de mines de petites tailles. Or, il n'y a aucune garantie. « Si la raffinerie attend des petits mineurs qu'ils lui apportent eux-mêmes leur or, elle n'aura pas les quantités souhaitées. Il faut donner aux mineurs des avantages fiscaux, installer des bureaux près des mines. C'est à ces conditions qu'ils ne vendront leur or à personne d'autre », selon Godwin Armah, l'un des principaux représentants du secteur. Les autorités devront également résoudre le problème de la traçabilité. Un enjeu de taille dans un pays ravagé par l'orpaillage illégal.À lire aussiAu Ghana, «l'exploitation illégale de l'or est une malédiction environnementale»
