We all travel to other countries and we integrate into the society by renting our own places. Are they not ashamed by saying they have been in the camp for 32 years without having anything. Ghana has laws that must be implemented. I think the camp has served its purpose and it is time it ends. Ghanaians are not supposed to stay in that camp in the first place. PLEASE ALLOW THE RULES TO WORK FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY.🙏🏼
The problem with Ghana is we allow issues to fester for so long till they turn problematic. Majority of these people have had over 32 years to properly assimilate into the Ghanaian society or go back to their various countries but have chosen not to do so. The authorities have sat back and watched the situation turn into a nuisance and now you want to apply force. Of course they will also kick back and not leave peacefully..
I feel sorry for you people,but my point it this long time,why didn't you make yourself better,find your own place through hard work,you should know that the demolition will come through,and also for you Ghanaians living there you should know the government is not responsible for your resettlement
Liberians have a great nation and we dont have any problem with camp Demolition, we are tired!! . . But the Ghanaian Government and Ghana Refugee Board most make sure they relocate Liberians who decided by the options given by UNHCR , GHANA REFUGEE BOAD AND GOVERNMENT OF GHANA to be locally integrated in Ghana with a better housing accommodation , thts all Liberians are asking. Thanks
@@yusufuj.kabbah6799 I am not sure what you mean by being tired, the war has been over for years, you are no longer classed as refugees. Those who chose to go back were fully supported in going back home. You and those who chose to stay remained as private residents in Ghana; hence your responsibility to find jobs, get the correct documentation, make ends meet and assimilate into Ghanaian society. No one owes any of you anything!!!!
The Liberian Government should help their citizens succeed, Liberia is nicer to live than this location, please Liberian Government save your precious people and take care of them
Why do they still call themselves refugees. The camp has outlived its usefulness. Naturally they will rebel but the camp has to go to pave way for development because the criminal activities there are just too much. In every situation people will be affected. Be bold like the Regional Minister for Greater Accra
Our affinity for slum dwelling in Africa beats my imagination. We allow every situation to birth slums, why? The land was not given for good. It was to help save lives for a period of time. Proper arrangement needs to be put in place to either resettle them in other communities or reconstruct the area for them..
The whole point of being a refugee is seeking refugee while there is conflict going on in your home country. The war in Liberia is over so they mist either choose to go back or leave the camp to integrate in other communities.
Those are easy words to write in a comment section when you have a roof over your head. Imagine being in your forties or sixties, no job and the only home you have is about to be taken away from you. Hopelessness is real and compassion and empathy is what we are taught as Christians and Muslims, not distain. Those are people not rubbish.
@@yusufuj.kabbah6799please send them back!! Liberians is not even a serious country for someone to be there!! I wonder what these Ghanaians are doing there
After over 30 years you don't have food to eat, no income, no life worth living. And you still want to live in the same situation... unfortunately, these people are less of humans.
These interviewed people are more annoying than expected... we thank GOD foreigners can demand their rights in Ghana, that their own governments wont guarantee. Would they talk even if was Togo or Ivory Coast. Ghana is too good.
There we go again. The Press needs to remind these people that the war had been over for years now and is about time they leave. Liberia Government will find them a place in Liberia. They should stop playing the victim and leave peacefully before September 30th 2021. If they think they will ignore the set date, then I am sorry they will not pick any of their belongings.
Just turn the place to an industrial area to create jobs... All of Accra and only two small industrial areas.. Its even central region.. It will serve as a hub between Accra and Cape Coast. We need industrial areas. Imagine if there were about 50 factories there employing 200 workers each. Thats a lot of jobs created. Plus the indirect chain of jobs.. Like distributors and haulage..etc..Our leaders have no proper ideas on how to manage land.
I don't think it's advisable to remove them without having another form of shelter for them. Then again upon all the years they've been living in Ghana they couldn't save to rent a place outside the camp?
The whole reason for their removal is to curtail crime; getting them another resident means the government will only have transferred the existing problem it seeks to curtail elsewhere.. Then we ll be back to square-one...... The war in Liberia is over, the residents (legal) can equally go back to their countries if they cannot rent legitimate residents like the citizens do.
What do you think is the way ? You people talk too much with no sense ! Social media not good for Ghana ,the idiots are exposing the thinking of Ghanaians which is so disgusting !
@@ironlady1730 Demolishing the camp for development projects is fantastic but the demolishing won't stop criminal activities in Ghana. Please listen to the DCE again
Look at Liberian attitude, this is a camp set by the govt. of the land, so they decide what to do with it.Refugee camps don't stay forever. For 22years? The govts. of Ghana have done well. But for that number of years they have become citizens automatically so the govt should have some low cost settling for them or give them some monies as a token to set them off . For development purposes and tranquillity in the area, the camp must go.
The war in Liberia is over and the country is doing well. I remember they were given money to go back but some chose to stay. If they wont to stay they rent a place and register with Ghana immigration Services and integrate into the society period. The camp is coming down the land was given to refugees and not for slum. Easy Way all the time
Ghana journalist, please stop entertaining this people, the rule of law must work. We Ghanaian citizens pay our own rent,water and light bills, nothing is even free for us and we have hosted then for over 30year and they are asking for more
It's a joy and dream for every liberian residing on the Buduburam Camp to be Demolish, we are tired . . But the Ghanaian Government and Ghana refugee most make sure they relocate Liberians who decided by the options given by UNHCR , GHANA REFUGEE BOAD AND GOVERNMENT OF GHANA to be locally integrated in Ghana with a better housing accommodation. Thanks
@@yusufuj.kabbah6799 so go and talk to UN!!! Ghana is not the case of Liberians downfall!! You Liberians wonder why yall can’t grow as a nation? You people are waiting for UN!! Shameless people
The reason why they are kicking them out is because of Ghanaians and Nigerians living there. Those people shouldn't be living there in the first place. Second the Chief's cant do anything about it. Because the lands doesn't belong to them. The land was bought from them. This is a crime.
There should be a compromise, you come to their aid and then ask them to leave abruptly, they not all criminals and they have nothing to go home to.Some are married to Ghanaians and now part and parcel of our society.Rather create residential apartments for them that can afford it and resettle those who can't into low cost housing and weave out the squatters and criminal elements
I'm sorry but where are you expecting this funding for housing and relocation to come from? I doubt any hardworking Ghanaian will support their taxes being used for this especially when there are thousands of citizens with no access to low cost housing. Bottom line is there is no manna ready to drop from anywhere, either they leave or find jobs and support themselves like every other resident in Ghana.
@@afiaowusu20 they citizens as well now, just like how we go for greener pastures in other countries....the government has money to expend on unnecessary stuff.This is the time to invest it to make a positive impact
@@marcq4106 I am sorry but you don't go seeking greener pastures in another country and expect the government to provide you with housing etc whiles you sit on your backside with no aim of bettering your circumstance; you work, earn and then either buy or rent. The aim is for you to be self reliant and not be a liability to your host country. I have lived in England, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany and even these countries with better economies and money do not provide free housing. You are supported for a brief period while your application for refuge is considered. Once approved you are expected to go out work and positively contribute to your host nation and not be a burden on them. These people have had over 32 years to better themselves and haven't done so. Again no one owes them anything.
@@afiaowusu20 Sorry but I beg to differ,they don't have jobs,if they had something to do I'm sure they would be able to sustain themselves without government support..I was born in Germany as well lived in Canada and the UK..and the government takes care of the unemployed and also provides housing for those in dire need. To say they have been sitting idle for 32 years is wrong.They have built families here and are now part of our system.it behooves on the government to find them alternative housing or some kind of compensation..YES the government owes them,if they have been here for 32 yes and their conditions have not changed there is definitely something wrong with our leadership..plus the short notice provided to them is also wrong..they have nowhere to go to..Do you have any suggestions as to where they should go ??
@@marcq4106 That's your opinion which you're very much entitled to however, Ghana does not need anymore idle and unproductive individuals. If they still claim to be unemployed after 30 odd years then that gives credence to the claim that the camp is riddled with crime and needs to be demolished, how else are they otherwise sustaining themselves? Also if you were truly born in Germany and have lived in the countries you claim to, then you would know that housing provided is not free, it may be subsidised but one still has to pay for it with whatever benefits is received. The government certainly does not support the unemployed for 32years and over, Claimants have a 3 months window to claim and within this period are expected to find work or be willing to take up any job offered to you. Yes, some may be able to claim a little longer depending on their circumstance (mostly for health reasons) but these are developed countries with the means and money to do so. Ghana as a developing nation is in no position economically to do that. Ghanaians were very empathetic to their situation when there was a war raging in their country, they have lived peacefully, enjoyed our hospitality for years but have failed to contribute to the growth of Ghana if they still remain unemployed and in the same position for 32yrs. These people made a choice to stay and nothing is owed to them. All that's being said now is the camp has outlived the purpose for which it was created and they need to stand on their own two feet just like every resident in Ghana if they want to continue living in the country.
Govt should not give them another place, the same crimes will continue.
Remember Ghanaians are also residing in Liberia husling. . If this is not handle with care...it's will creat a Cold war...
We all travel to other countries and we integrate into the society by renting our own places. Are they not ashamed by saying they have been in the camp for 32 years without having anything. Ghana has laws that must be implemented. I think the camp has served its purpose and it is time it ends.

32 yes living in the area free only Ghana this non sense will go on for the long
Wow this will be serious and chaotic
Is it only Liberians who are in the camp.
Sad news
This is an unexpected news
The UN could do better than this. They get funding relocate these people. It's easy to judge them although they can see people live in poverty.
Government can spend all Ghana resources on securities from r budubulla
Let those who will go go n de rest go out to rent n mix up with other citizens,the crime rate will reduce.
