Liberian Refugees Lament Wrecking of Buduburam Camp
Two weeks ago, the president of the Buduburam Liberian Refugee Camp in Ghana called us to say that parts of the camp were being demolished by authorities. Thousands of Liberians who fled their country’s civil war have been living in the camp since early 1990s. In 2010, the Ghanaian Refugee Board reached an agreement with the UNHCR to close Buduburam as a refugee camp. Liberians were given the option to return to Liberia or remain in Ghana. Dennis Gwion, the president of the Buduburam Camp, tells VOA’s James Butty the demolition began without notice.
