Authorities in Ghana have resumed the demolition of unauthorized buildings at the Sakumono Ramsar Site and other protected areas, sparking distress and resistance among affected residents.
The Greater Accra Regional Security Council (REGSEC), led by Regional Minister Linda Ocloo, is enforcing the removal of structures built on waterways and Ramsar buffer zones following devastating floods. Residents claim they were given a two-month notice to vacate, but many are still protesting the demolitions, leading to tense confrontations. Government officials argue that the demolitions are necessary to restore natural habitats and prevent future flooding.
The situation has drawn political attention, with MPs intervening to address community concerns and ensure order.
