Navigating Faith and Politics of Muslim Minority in Ghana
Muslims make up 25% of Ghana's population, predominantly in the northern regions, with Islam introduced through trade in the 8th century. Despite contributing to Ghana's independence and cultural diversity, the Muslim minority faces political marginalization and economic disparities. Northern regions lag in development compared to the Christian-dominated south, with limited access to Islamic education. While Muslim holidays are nationally recognized, challenges remain in balancing faith with Ghana's socio-political landscape.
