Today started the President Milles’ funeral.
Funerals usually take place on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays but once it’s the
former President’s funeral it’s carried on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Since Monday every city has been preparing for
it: there are posters all over the place as well as black and red ribbons in
the buildings. Cars and bicycles also have these ribbons. Even in Hohoe, which
is a small town, they are in every place.
Today we can see several people in the street
dresses in black and red to show some respect to the former president. There
are even printed red t-shirts with the President’s picture.
The funeral has been going on the national TV
for the entire day. As it was the first day of the funeral it was the time to
visit the body which is officially dressed and lying in a glass chamber so
people can see him. In the morning it was time for official visitors and in the
afternoon and tomorrow is time for Ghanaian people to visit their former
President. The body is then buried on Friday which will be a public holiday.
