Yaa Asantewaa Festival is an annual festival celebrated by the chiefs and peoples of the Ejisu Traditional Area in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. It is usually celebrated in the month of August.[1][2][3][4]
Another important Yaa Asantewaa festival was founded by the Royal House of Queen Mother Saa Pogh Naa Yaa Asantewaa Ababio II to remember the 95th Year of the Home Calling of Queen Yaa Asantewaa and to honor her actions during the War of the Golden Stool.
The nine-day festival also paid respects to Queen Mother Yaa Akyaa, Mother of King Nana Prempeh, and all of the other kings and chiefs who were exiled to the Seychelles by the British in the early 1900s. These included the Sultan of Perak Abdullah Muhammad Shah II of Perak, the King of Buganda Mwanga II of Buganda and the King of Bunyoro Chwa II Kabalega[5] Other notable political exiles were, Makarios III, the first President of the Republic of the Seychelles, and Saad Zaghloul, the 17th Prime Minister of Egypt.
