He cited examples of Kenya Airways operating flights between Nairobi, Accra, and Sierra Leone, as well as previous operations by South African Airways linking Accra and Washington.<\/p>\n<p>He also reiterated the need for Ghana to re-establish a national airline, saying the country must believe that a successful national carrier can once again become a reality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure

that many global narratives about Africa are incomplete and damaging, often overshadowing the continent\u2019s achievements and diversity.<\/p>\n<p>Delivering the keynote address, Prof Audrey Gadzekpo criticised what she described as decades of biased Western media portrayals of Africa, which often reduce the continent to stories of coups, violence, hunger, and instability.<\/p>\n<p>She warned against replacing one incomplete narrative with another and urged Africans to adopt more nuanced storytelling that reflects the continent\u2019s diversity, complexity, resilience, and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Gadzekpo also cautioned that while digital platforms and artificial intelligence offer opportunities for Africans to amplify their stories globally, many AI systems are still trained on datasets shaped by Western biases.<\/p>\n<p>The summit featured two panel discussions focused on African storytelling, communication, and strategies for reshaping perceptions about the continent.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gcaa.com.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4Q9A46771-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"
