The Socialist Movement of Ghana (SMG) has been urged to unite with progressive forces to chart a new course for social and economic justice. <\/p>\n

The call came during the second delegates\u2019 congress of the SMG, held in the shadow of global and national crises.<\/p>\n

The Progressive Alliance for Ghana (PAG), in partnership with the Social Justice Movement of Ghana (SJMG), sent fraternal greetings to the congress. <\/p>\n

The message described the world as one of conflicts, but also one of opportunities for progressive action.<\/p>\n

In Ghana, the statement noted, the new government, led by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), faces immense challenges. <\/p>\n

It accused the previous administration of corruption and warned that the economy, unemployment, and illegal mining are pushing the country toward collapse.<\/p>\n

On the international front, the PAG condemned Israel for what it described as genocide in Gaza and called for Israel to be disarmed. It also urged peaceful solutions to the wars in Ukraine, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n

The statement welcomed the rise of the BRICS bloc as an opportunity to end U.S. hegemony and establish fairer global partnerships. It urged the Ghanaian government to actively engage with the BRICS project.<\/p>\n

The congress was reminded of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah\u2019s legacy. <\/p>\n

The greatest tribute to him, the message said, would be for all progressive forces to come together, form a united political front, and fight for justice and freedom from neo-colonialism.<\/p>\n

\u201cForward Together,\u201d the message concluded, calling for solidarity and unity in Ghana and across Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
