Mills attends ECOWAS Summit on Ivorian crisis

President John Evans Atta Mills has left Accra for Abuja, Nigeria to attend the second extra-ordinary session of ECOWAS on the Ivorian crisis.

President Mills says he is going to push for solid and firm decisions by West African leaders to resolve the Ivorian crisis in order to avoid a type of the Rwandan massacre in the sub-region.

Briefing the media, the Director of Communications at the presidency, Koku Anyidoho, said Ghana is very keen on helping to resolve the Ivorian crisis because of the country's proximity to Ghana's oil fields.

He added that any blood in Ivory Coast could have negative effects on Ghana.
