Map of Ghana, locating Apiate, some 300 km west of the capital Accra, where a truck carrying explosives collided with a motorcycle on Thursday, causing an immense explosion and a huge “loss of lives”, according to the Ghanaian president.

At least 17 people were killed and 59 injured Thursday in a devastating explosion in a western Ghana town after a truck carrying explosives intended for a mine collided with a motorcycle, the government said.

In 2017, at least three people were killed and dozens injured after a tanker truck carrying natural gas caught fire in Accra, triggering explosions at two fuel stations and killing three people.

風評:北京真的會加速解決台灣問題?

「新時代黨解決台灣問題的總體方略」一詞越來越熱門。去年11月中共十九大六中全會通過的《第三份歷史決議》中提到,之後中共對台官僚、官媒與御用學者陸續發表對這個「總體方略」的詮釋、演繹,台灣不少兩岸專家們也發表高見。許多人都認為今年底中共二十大,將會有一個具體明確、新的對台「總體方略」出現。[啟動LINE推播] 每日重大新聞通知 近來和「新時代黨解決台灣問題的總體方略」相關的發言包括:中共總書記習近平新年賀詞、國台辦主任劉結一、海協會會長張志軍的新年賀詞;海協會副會長孫亞夫、華東師範大學台灣問題專家周志懷陸續接受媒體專訪的發言;此外,中國官媒新華社也發表長文《五組關鍵詞讀懂新時代黨解決台灣問題總體方略》。而在台灣,前總統馬英九兩岸幕僚蘇起等人為主組成的台北論壇,也舉辦講座展望新一年的兩岸關係,中國對台「總體方略」也成了重點。 不要「和平統一」只要「完全統一」? 習近平在中共慶建黨百年大會上首度提出「完全統一」的說法。(圖/翻拍自中央電視台) 眾聲喧嘩中,有些驚心動魄,彷彿中共很快要武統台灣。有人說北京現在多用「完全統一」一詞取代「和平統一」,代表著武統可能性提高。台灣學者趙建民也說,中國大陸對台政策從「和平統一」變為戰爭邊緣,官員開始談「統一後」,說明中共已將統一提上日程表。 事實上在中共官方發言中,「完全統一」和「和平統一」經常交替、混用,例如「以和平方式實現祖國完全統一」是中共官方常用的說法。而習近平最早用「祖國完全統一」這個提法是2021年7月中共成立百年紀念演講中,他當時說:「解決臺灣問題、實現祖國完全統一,是中國共產黨矢志不渝的歷史任務,是全體中華兒女的共同願望。要堅持一個中國原則和『九二共識』,推進祖國和平統一進程。」一樣是把和平統一和完全統一混用。三個月後,去年十月辛亥革命110年紀念會上,習近平講話也是「和平統一」、「祖國完全統一」、「以和平方式實現祖國統一」混合使用。 至於現在中共官員、學者常談「統一後」台灣的制度安排,如選舉、財政等,這是受到習近平三年前拋出「一國兩制台灣方案」的影響;但也不要忘了,1980年代初,中共開始對台展開一國兩制統戰時,也是天馬行空地提出許多惠台規畫。 一月十九日台灣問題專家周志懷接受中新社專訪時,對兩岸關係幾個提法也引起大家關注: 北京建構「單方面解決台灣問題新機制」 台灣問題專家周志懷稱,稱中國大陸以「積極和平」思維塑造兩岸和平態勢。他還說,大陸要自己既定步調建構起「單方面解決台灣問題的新機制」。(中評社) 周志懷用了「積極和平」一詞。他稱中國大陸去年強化軍事鬥爭與打擊「台獨頑固分子」手段運用,以「積極和平」思維塑造兩岸和平態勢。他還說,大陸要排除民進黨當局和外部勢力干擾,按自己既定步調建構起「單方面解決台灣問題的新機制」。他說:「在『被統一』狀態下,民進黨當局將完全喪失與大陸『共議統一』的機會。」
