FAST-RISING reggae dancehall artist Rukayatu Abubarkar Jawando, known as Ruki in showbiz circles, has released a new song titled ‘Stop War,’ aiming to encourage global efforts to end violence in Gaza.
The track, produced and edited by Ras Bonbas, is a heartfelt call for peace and an end to the war in Palestine.
It was written by Martin Quarpong who told The Spectator Agoro that the release of the song had gained significant attention, adding to the growing chorus of voices advocating an end to the conflict in Palestine.
Reacting to the song’s release, Palestinian Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Alsataari, expressed delight at the growing support from the Ghanaian entertainment industry.
He praised the artist’s initiative, stating that such efforts were crucial in raising awareness about the dire situation in Gaza.
The songstress also used the occasion to urge the general public and fellow entertainers to leverage their musical talents to promote peace globally.
The song, according to Ruki, exemplifies how art could transcend boundaries and speak to the shared human desire for a peaceful existence.

According to the organisers, the festival remains committed to promoting Made-in-Ghana apparel, fashion accessories, and locally inspired designs while strengthening the connection between Ghanaians in the diaspora and their cultural roots. “We live in a globalised world, and it is important that we celebrate Ghanaian fashion and culture wherever we find ourselves. Through the Kente Wear Festival, we continue to preserve our traditions, tell our stories, and introduce the elegance of Ghanaian craftsmanship to a global audience,” the organisers said.
Beyond the fashion runway, the festival will feature cultural performances, exhibitions, networking opportunities, and displays of both traditional and contemporary Kente-inspired designs, making it one of the premier events celebrating Ghanaian culture.
