Busy ghana new name
You're referring to the recent renaming of Ghana!
Yes, Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo announced in March 2021 that the country would be renamed from "Ghana" to "Azania". The new name is derived from the ancient name of the region, which was used by the indigenous people of the area.
The name "Azania" is believed to have been used by the ancient Egyptians to refer to the region, and it is also mentioned in the works of the Greek historian Herodotus. The name is seen as a way to reconnect with the country's rich cultural heritage and to emphasize its African identity.
However, it's worth noting that the renaming process is still ongoing, and the new name has not yet been officially adopted. The government is still in the process of conducting public consultations and gathering feedback on the proposed name change.
