Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef and Khalid Muhammad Salih Al-Dhuby, both Yemeni nationals, were released from Guantanamo Bay on Wednesday and will be resettled in Ghana. They will initially be allowed to stay for two years, subject to security checks, the Ghanaian government has said.

Its been a while since I updated this site, I was caught up in some project and God willing am progressing. Thought it wise to at least send my seasons greeting to all and sundry as the saying goes " today is the oldest you have ever been and the youngest u ill ever be".

All I can say is master JESUS will hear us out.
