1. Residentieel:<\/strong>\u00a0De bevolking van Ghana woont voornamelijk langs de kust en in de twee grootste steden Accra (de hoofdstad) en Kumasi.<\/p>\n

2. Weer en klimaat:<\/strong>\u00a0Het klimaat in Ghana is tropisch, maar de temperaturen vari\u00ebren afhankelijk van het seizoen en de hoogte. Er zijn 2 regenseizoenen: van april tot juli en van september tot november. Dit geldt echter niet voor het noorden van het land, waar slechts \u00e9\u00e9n regenseizoen is, dat begint in april en eindigt in september. In de meeste delen van het land zijn de temperaturen het hoogst in maart en het laagst in augustus.<\/p>\n

3. Vrouwen:<\/strong>\u00a0Ghanese vrouwen zijn niet bang om hun rondingen te laten zien; of ze nu dun, dik of zwaar gebouwd zijn, ze dragen altijd strakke kleding voor feestelijke gelegenheden.<\/p>\n

4. Harmattan:<\/strong>\u00a0Een ander bijzonder weersfenomeen in Ghana is de droge woestijnwind Harmattan. Deze wind waait van december tot maart en verlaagt de luchtvochtigheid, wat resulteert in warme dagen en koele nachten in het noorden. In het zuiden is het effect van de wind voelbaar in januari.<\/p>\n

5. Cacao:<\/strong>\u00a0Ghana is de op twee na grootste producent van cacaobonen ter wereld en is goed voor ongeveer 20% van de wereldproductie. Andere belangrijke landbouwproducten in het land zijn rijst, pinda's, ma\u00efs, bananen en cassave (maniok).<\/p>\n

Feit: Het Voltameer in Ghana is het grootste kunstmatige meer ter wereld. Het werd gevormd door het afdammen van de Volta rivier in 1965.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Voltameer:<\/strong>\u00a0Qua oppervlakte is het Voltameer in Ghana het grootste kunstmatige meer ter wereld. Qua volume is het meer het op drie na grootste ter wereld. Het meer werd gevormd toen de Volta rivier werd afgedamd bij de Akosombo Dam in 1965.<\/p>\n

7. Talen:<\/strong>\u00a0Engels is de offici\u00eble taal van Ghana en de lingua franca van het land. Ongeveer 90% van de bevolking spreekt Engels. Daarnaast zijn er de Afrikaanse talen, die uit meer dan 70 verschillende dialecten bestaan, omdat er meer dan 70 verschillende stammen in het land zijn. 11 van de talen van het land worden door de staat ondersteund, wat betekent dat er verschillende leesmaterialen in deze talen worden gepubliceerd. De 11 talen zijn allemaal Niger-Kordofantalen en de hele bevolking spreekt minstens \u00e9\u00e9n taal uit deze taalfamilie.<\/p>\n

8. Buurlanden:<\/strong>\u00a0Hoewel Ghana een Engelstalig land is, zijn alle buurlanden - Ivoorkust, Burkina Faso en Togo - Franstalig. Voor Ghanezen is Frans daarom de op \u00e9\u00e9n na belangrijkste Europese taal (na Engels).<\/p>\n

9. De Goudkust:<\/strong>\u00a0Het gebied dat overeenkomt met het huidige Ghana werd oorspronkelijk uitsluitend bewoond door Afrikanen, maar aan het eind van de 15e eeuw kwamen Portugese handelaren naar het gebied. Zij stichtten de Portugese Goudkust en kort daarna kwamen de Nederlanders en stichtten de Nederlandse Goudkust. Halverwege de jaren 1700 arriveerden ook de Zweden (de Zweedse Goudkust) en de Denen (de Deense Goudkust of Deens Guinee). Later volgden de Britten en Duitsers. De Britten vochten in totaal ongeveer 100 jaar tegen de lokale Ashanti-koning en werden uiteindelijk de grootste macht in het land. In 1901 werd de Britse Goudkust de offici\u00eble naam van het land.<\/p>\n

10. Het onderwijs in Ghana:<\/strong>\u00a0De Gold Coast werd op 6 maart 1957 onafhankelijk onder premier Kwame Nkrumah en veranderde zijn naam onmiddellijk in Ghana. Nkrumah werd de eerste president van Ghana in 1960. Hij bekleedde het presidentschap tot 1966, toen hij door een militaire coup werd afgezet. Vanaf dat moment tot de jaren 1990 werd het land gekenmerkt door instabiliteit en verschillende staatsgrepen, maar sinds het midden van de jaren 1990 is er enige politieke rust in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Fort Christiansborg (boven) was een van de twee Deense forten aan de Deense Goudkust. Elmina Castle (onder) was een van de Portugese forten aan de Portugese Goudkust. Fort Christiansborg werd verkocht aan de Britten toen de slavernij werd afgeschaft. Tegenwoordig heet het fort 'Osu Castle' en is het de zetel van de Ghanese regering.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
