Ghanaian Moslems Off To Mecca

Ghanaian Moslems have started leaving to the Holy City of Mecca in Saudi Arabia to perform this year's Hajj pilgrimage. They will be joining close to two and a half million other Moslem pilgrims from all over to pray at the Holy K'aba and other holy places.

Ghana's Vice President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama, would head a distinguished government delegation to the Holy Land. This would be the first time in Ghana's history that a Vice President would be leading such a delegation.
