Stargram Global has announced the launch of ‘mit messenger’, the most private and secure messenger on the market.

The name ‘mit’ means ‘together’ in German. The app brings people all over the world together while ensuring their chat privacy with 100% confidence.

Developed as a full service messenger app with the goal of enhancing user convenience, such as coin settlement and free / busy service transactions, with an emphasis on confidentiality of membership information and securing messages between recipients; mit messenger uses a peer-to-peer (P2P) concept that does not store conversation contents or files on a server and functions. At the time of subscribing, members can use a simple mobile phone authentication procedure without the app requesting additional confidential information.

Users can also delete conversations that they do not wish to leave on recipients’ phones through the ‘Disappearing Messages’ feature. The message disappears on both devices at a user-defined interval, from 5 seconds to 1 week, after the recipient reads the message. ‘Lifetime use’ numbers will be issued free of charge to prevent mobile phone numbers from being exposed. It will be possible to open a super group room where up to 110,000 people can chat in it.

The lossless voice and video data recovery technology delivers HD/VoLTE quality calls with high sound quality. The ability to make high quality calls for 7 minutes while consuming only 1MB of data is also a powerful feature of the app.

In addition, it will be equipped with an e-payment system, a streaming service for Stargram’s Bingo music, and a shared economic platform through the expansion of messenger-based merchants and applications.

Ghana and The Gambia are in the process of launching free roaming services that will enhance a West African connectivity.

The plan which is a joint initiative of the Ghana Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation and The Gambian National Communications Authority (NCA) will see mobile users in both countries avoiding extra charges for calls, texts, and data, which in turn, is expected to boost trade, tourism, and economic integration across borders.

The collaboration, according to a joint statement by the two bodies, aligns with the Economic Community of West African States’ (ECOWAS) broader push for seamless regional communication.

“Ghana and The Gambia are forging new paths in West Africa’s digital landscape, implementing a free-roaming initiative,” the statement said.

“This move strengthens regional connectivity while highlighting the role of technological collaboration in fostering economic integration. The initiative enables mobile users travelling between the two nations to make calls, send messages, and use data services without additional roaming fees.”

It further noted that by reducing these costs, the program aligns with the ECOWAS Free Roaming Initiative, which seeks to eliminate barriers to communication across member states.

“It is a boost for trade and travel as the free roaming plan is expected to spur economic activities by streamlining cross-border communication.

“Businesses and individuals travelling between Ghana and The Gambia can now stay connected without worrying about exorbitant charges, facilitating smoother transactions and personal interactions. The initiative is also expected to attract more tourists by ensuring seamless digital access for visitors.

“This collaboration marks another milestone in Ghana’s commitment to expanding digital connectivity, following Ghana’s successful implementation of similar agreements with Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, and Benin, with talks of possible roaming partnerships with Liberia.

“By focusing on digital integration, Ghana and The Gambia demonstrate the power of technology to bridge gaps between countries. This step also serves as a model for other West African nations to join the free-roaming framework, contributing to the larger goal of a connected and economically integrated region,” it added.

With the theme, “Science-to-Solution”, the Regenerative Ocean Week will present a line-up of sessions designed to bridge the gap between scientific research, business innovation, policy, and community engagement.

According to the organizers of the event, it will bring together African ocean innovators, investors, researchers, policymakers, and community leaders to explore practical solutions that can be applied across the continent.

“These include the OIA Pitch Competition, which is a platform for Africa-based startups and entrepreneurs to showcase breakthrough ideas in ocean-impact solutions, allowing them to connect with investors and industry leaders and emphasizing Africa’s role in driving sustainable ocean initiatives,” the organizers said in a statement.
