The correct answer is "Ghana". Ghana, officially the Republic of Ghana, is a country in West Africa. It abuts the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean to the south, sharing borders with Ivory Coast in the west, Burkina Faso in the north, and Togo in the east.
Kofi Atta Annan was a Ghanaian diplomat who served as the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1997 to 2006. Annan and the UN were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize.
Ghana was previously known as the Gold Coast. This name was given to the region by European merchants due to the abundance of gold found there. The country gained independence from British colonial rule in 1957 and changed its name to Ghana, inspired by the ancient Ghana Empire that once existed in the same region.
Fufu is a dough-like food found in West African cuisine. It is the most common exported Ghanaian dish and is a delicacy across the African diaspora.
