A Ghana official has ordered the "immediate arrest" of "all homosexuals in the region." From an anti-gay African news site:

The Western Region Minister Paul Evans Aidoo has ordered the immediate arrest of all homosexuals in the region. He has tasked the Bureau of National Investigations and all security agencies to smoke out persons suspected to be engaging in same sex. He also enlisted the services of landlords and tenants to provide reliable information which will lead to the arrest of homosexuals. His directive follows months of campaigns against the practice of homosexuality in the country. Only yesterday, the Christian Council of Ghana capped months of protestations against the practice of homosexuality with a strongly worded message against the practice and courting Ghanaians not to vote for any politician who believes in the rights of homosexuals.

8. Just a hunch,

but this law will be used as much to get rid of political enemies than anything else. Yes, absolutely a reprehensible law, and much like the Salem witch trials, the accusations will be enough to condemn someone. Lots of opportunists, inside and outside the government, will use this to their advantage. Very bad for gays, and for a lot of non-gays as well.

10. here's another report

http://indepthafrica.com/news/westafrica/ghana-minister-orders-arrest-of-all-homosexuals/

(The Western Region Minister Paul Evans Aidoo ) also enlisted the services of landlords and tenants to provide reliable information which will lead to the arrest of homosexuals. His directive follows months of campaigns against the practice of homosexuality in the country.

...The Western Region has been a beehive of activities linked with homosexuality. A recent media report claimed the Western and Central Regions together have a total of about 8,000 homosexuals and lesbians. That report sparked a series of religious demonstrations with the Moslem and Christian communities in the region hitting the streets to protest what they claim is an ungodly and demonic act.

Mr. Paul Aidoo minced no words at all in his dislike for the practice. He stated that “all efforts are being made to get rid of these people in the society.” He said once they are arrested they will be hauled before court to test the strength of the law which frowns upon homosexuality in the country.

12. And then people think we should be aiding Africa. I say no aid to backwards countries.

14. You know Africa isn't a country, right? (nt)

23. I agree with you. For some reason, Many Americans seem to

want to return to the age of Barbarianism, or at least the Dark Ages.

Something is damaging our the minds of our people. My suspicion is that the 50 years of media propaganda has literally impaired their ability to think objectively.

20. Prelude to murder.

This is horrific.
