Journalists for Human Rights

Disgruntled refugees at the Buduburam camp have entered the seventh day of a sit down strike intended to draw attention to what they say are unsatisfactory conditions both in Ghana and in Liberia. The protesting refugees are women of all ages and children. Many claim they have not eaten or drank any water for nearly a week. They say they want to repatriate to Liberia but are demanding the United Nations High Commission on Refugees provides a bigger allowance to help them rebuild their lives. They are also asking to be resettled into other countries if this isn’t possible. Most are refusing to reintegrate into Ghanaian society. Bernard Saibu went to the camp to hear the refugees’ demands and produced this report.  With Files from Alison Lang
