 Anthrax Disease: Muslims In The Upper East Of Ghana Won't Wear Charms

Muslims in Ghana's Upper East area, which is made up of 15 districts, will not pray in the main Ban Aba prayer like Muslims in other parts of the world will. This is because animals in the area have been getting sick with anthrax-like crazy.

Muslims in Ghana's Upper East area, which is made up of 15 districts, will not pray in the main Ban Aba prayer like Muslims in other parts of the world will. This is because animals in the area have been getting sick with anthrax-like crazy.

Reports say that the Anthrax sickness killed one person and more than a hundred animals in about six districts of the area. Most animals die in Binduri district, then in Garu district and Bawku district in the west.

The Ghana Health Authority said that the ban on killing, selling, moving, and eating beef, goats, and sheep from the area will not be lifted until 70% of the animals have been vaccinated against Anthrax.

But the emergency committee for preventing anthrax disease in the area told the journalist Muhammad Zaquwwa that vaccinations are being given to the animals in the area. "However, as of now, they have not been successful in vaccinating all of the animals, and according to him, not a single animal was vaccinated in Bawku.

He also said that it is still against the law to eat animals with four legs.

Fuseini Samson Majeed, who is in charge of animal health in the Bawku area, has shown that the disease is very bad for both animals and people and if it isn't taken care of, it will hurt the community.

He said that's why the government has stopped people from making charms this year.

Because of the disease, the imams of the Friday mosques in the area taught last Friday that people shouldn't make charms this year. Sheikh Khalifa Muhammad Auwal, the Mufti of Bawku, told the people to follow the rules set by the government.

He said that there are many religious acts for which a person will be awarded. He also said that the money from a loan can be used to help the poor because it is a must to stop.

Imurana Madaha Bawku, a person who lives in Bawku, said that the people answered the teachers' calls because they thought it was important. He said that even young people are going from house to house where they know there are nests and telling people how to avoid getting sick.

Acting Director of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture's Animal Welfare Department (VSD), Dr. Patrick Abakeh, said that steps are being taken to handle the situation.

All districts got 100,000 vaccines from the government, and another 100,000 will go out next week.
