Ghana Halts Clearance of Liberia Refugees camp
The mayor of the Gomoa East District Assembly in the Central Region of Ghana Darko Quarm says the government played no part in the partial demolition of the Buduburam camp housing thousands of Liberian refugees. Quarm tells VOA’s James Butty, the government was able to negotiate a temporary halt to the demolition. He says the demolition was ordered by the local chiefs who loaned the land during the Liberian civil war and now want it back to construct a market. Buduburam is about 27 miles west of Accra and has been home to thousands of Liberian refugees since 1990
