Community right to decide under threat in Ghana

In Ghana, tensions have emerged between community members and mining companies around issues such as the environmental impacts of mining and land acquisition disputes. For example, in the small city of Prestea in the western region, tensions between community members and Bogoso Gold Mines (a subsidiary of Golden Star Resources) arose as a result of cyanide spills and alleged damage to homes from mining explosives and eventually led to project suspension.

  1. I am new to building web sites and I was wanting to know if having
    your website title relevant to your content really that critical?
    I see your title, "Blogger: Habertalk - Post a Comment " does appear to be spot on with what your blog is about
    but, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive
    and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a
    good idea or bad idea? Any kind of assistance would be greatly valued.

  2. The name of this blog has to do with the name of the person who invented the technologies the company is trying to commercialize. His name was Norman Haber.
    You can name your blog anything you want but it should indicate something in line with what the blog will be about.
    Also, if it's a commercial blog, that would trigger a whole different set of rules to optimize traffic to a product. Hope this helps.
