In retrospective recognition of his outstanding bravery and selfless commitment in preventing the Rwandan Genocide from escalating to catastrophic dimensions, the executive members of Ghana Military Academy (GMA) intake-8 have honoured Major General Henry Kwame Anyidoho (Rtd) for his leadership.
This comes on the back of President Paul Kagame’s recognition of his outstanding bravery in saving thousands of lives at a time when the international community including the United Nations had withdrawn and abandoned Rwanda in the heat of the war following an instigation by Belgium which had 10 soldiers killed but Ghanaian troops under the order of Gen Anyidoho, stayed.
As part of efforts to celebrate their colleague who has brought honour to the Ghana Armed Forces, Intake 8 on Wednesday 27 July 2022, added to the laurels of General Anyidoho, presented a beautifully designed plague to him at the Veterans Administration Club for putting a mark worth emulating in the history books of time.
The plaque reads “Your colleagues of Ghana Military Academy Intake VIII, in recognition of your outstanding performance as Deputy Force Commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda.
“Your singular act of bravery and courage in maintaining the Ghanaian contingent in Rwanda when all other participants abandoned the mission prevented the Rwandan Genocide from escalating to catastrophic dimensions.”
Receiving the plague, Gen Anyidoho thanked the executive members of Intake 8 most sincerely for the honour done him. He shared some profound experiences and lessons learnt from the Rwandan Genocide with them.
It would be recalled that on Monday, 4 July, 2022, at a simple, colourful and impressive ceremony in Kigali, President Paul Kagame showed his gratefulness by honouring retired Generals Anyidoho and Adinkrah for their outstanding bravery in saving thousands of lives at a time the United Nations had abandoned Rwanda in the Genocide of 1994.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
