Ghana click to reach African Championship semi-finals

The joint top seeds in the maiden edition of a tournament for local-based players finished top of Group B with five points followed by DR Congo (four) Zimbabwe (three) and Libya (two). Another boost for the ‘Black Stars’ is that they will remain in the central textile city of Bouake for a semi-final showdown with Senegal on Wednesday while DR Congo travel to face Zambia in Abidjan later the same day. Zambia topped Group A on goal difference from Senegal after both drew their final matches on Saturday against Tanzania and hosts Ivory Coast who managed just one point from three matches. While Ghana celebrated an unexpected easy win over the previously unbeaten Congolese pre-tournament outsiders Zimbabwe cursed their luck at being eliminated without losing a game. The ‘Warriors’ finished with a 0-0 draw against Libya in the Ivorian economic capital Abidjan and will rue allowing Ghana to snatch a point after trailing by two goals in the opening series of mini-league matches. Forced to come from behind against Zimbabwe and Libya to snatch draws Ghana knew nothing less than victory over DR Congo would assure them of a place in the knockout phase.

According to Ely fishing is Mauritanian main economic activity contributing about 25% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
