[DW] Ghana's capital Accra is now home to West Africa's second biggest mosque. Funded by the Ottoman Turkish government, Ghana's National Mosque is said to be a replica of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. The complex cost at least $10 million dollars,
...where did Turkey get an extra $10 million to spend on such a vanity project? And what benefit does Turkey expect from Ghana in exchange? 15,000 people can worship in the mosque at a time. Decorations include hand-drawn calligraphy of Koran verses, and the Carrara marble exterior fittings and the four minarets are also eye-catching.
Since its opening, the mosque has drawn thousands of Moslem and non-Moslem visitors. It complex includes a holy man's residence, a school, a clinic, a library and a morgue. Welcome to Ghana's national mosque!
