Ghana: Five hundred refugees revolt

More than 500 refugees have broken loose from the refugee camp at Krisan in the Nzema East District of the Western Region and crammed into an area at the Elubo border citing poor feeding and accommodation conditions. The refugees, who are from 10 countries in Africa, claimed it was an attempt to draw international attention to their plight. However, the UNHCR, responsible for assisting governments to protect and take care of refugees and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), which has oversight responsibility for the management of the refugee camp had dismissed the allegations.
