Ghana, Osama, U.S.

The news of Osama bin Laden was killed got over 200 comments on the most popular news portal Ghanaweb on Monday.

However, many of the comments quickly linked the news to politics in Ghana, where facing a 2012 general election, has seen party politics heating up by day.

As a nation with second highest percentage of population who view the U.S. positively, Ghana has especially showed much admiration for American President Obama's handling of the issue, many comments praised him for a good job done.

Except the overwhelming comments, the reaction has been muted from Accra. Partially due to the May 2nd being a public holiday, no official reaction has been reported.
