Ghanaian musician Champions Gaza Peace with New Track
Fast-rising reggae dancehall artist Rukayatu Abubarkar Jawando has released a new song titled “Stop War,” aiming to encourage global efforts to end violence in Gaza.
The track, produced and edited by Ras Bonbas, is a heartfelt call for peace and an end to the war in Palestine.
It was written by Martin Quarpong who said the release of “Stop War” had garnered significant attention, adding to the growing chorus of voices advocating for an end to the conflict in Palestine.
Reacting to the song’s release, Palestinian Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Alsataari, expressed his delight at the growing support from the Ghanaian entertainment industry.
He praised the artist’s initiative, stating that such efforts were crucial in raising awareness about the dire situation in Gaza.
“An end to the violence in Gaza means an end to the death of innocent people, especially children. The song’s message is clear: the world must unite to promote peace and end the ongoing violence,” Mr Alsattari emphasised.
He extended his gratitude to the musician and her team for their thoughtfulness and hoped for a future where Palestine can experience peace and freedom once again.
The songstress also used the occasion to urge the general public and fellow entertainers to leverage their musical talents to promote peace globally.
According to the Ambassador, the release of “Stop War” is more than just a musical achievement; it is a good reminder of the role that artists can play in advocating for peace, adding that it also serves as a call to action for people everywhere to contribute to the global peace movement.
“Promoting peace worldwide is not just a noble endeavor but a necessity for the survival and prosperity of humanity. In a world marred by conflict and division, the power of collective action and the influence of cultural expressions like music can bridge divides and foster understanding,” he stressed.
Known in showbiz as Ruki, the songstress highlighted the unifying power of music in the fight against violence and injustice.
The song “Stop War” she said exemplifies how art could transcend boundaries and speak to the shared human desire for a peaceful existence.
She stated that by uniting voices and efforts, a world where violence is no longer the norm and where future generations can live in harmony could be created.
“Together, we can use music as a tool to end violence in any part of the world so let us take inspiration from this song and commit to being active participants in the quest for global peace,” Ruki added.

After being diagnosed with a life-threatening liver disease and seeking medical help at various hospitals, it was God’s intervention that brought complete healing to the gospel artist.
This personal experience inspired “W’aseda,” encouraging listeners to trust in God’s greatness and remain prayerful in difficult times.
The single comes in two versions—”W’aseda High Life” and “W’aseda Worship”—catering to different musical tastes but sharing the same message of thankfulness.
In addition to “W’aseda,” MBA’s seven-track EP includes “AYEYI NDWOM” featuring Harry Fiscian and “OHENE BEN” featuring Oheneba Clement, among others, all of which celebrate God’s providence and might.
Aside from his music, Minister MBA is also dedicated to his “Giving Back – Health Awareness and Advocacy” project, where he partners with health specialists to raise awareness about liver disease.
This initiative, influenced by his own healing, aims to reach people through outreach programmes in churches, fitness clubs, and marketplaces.

Minister Bernard Appiah is driven by a fervent passion to share the transformative message of Christ with others. Beyond his music ministry, he has embarked on a noble mission to reach the marginalized communities in the ghettos. With compassion and dedication, he seeks to:
– Rescue individuals trapped in drug addiction
– Guide them towards a path of redemption and restoration
– Introduce them to the liberating power of Jesus Christ
– And Empower them to embrace a new life of purpose and hope
Minister Bernard Appiah, known by his stage name MBA, is a Ghanaian gospel musician born in Cape Coast on April 9, 1995.
He developed a love for music from a young age, performing at family gatherings and church events.
Despite studying aviation at the Global School of Aviation, he followed his passion for music, becoming a worship leader.
His mentors include Elder Mireku, Uncle Ato, and Pastor Joe Beechem, whose ministries greatly influenced him.
This year (2024), MBA released his debut album, “M’aseda,” featuring collaborations with talented artists like Harry Fiscian and Oheneba Clement.
