  • Demonstrators in Ghana’s capital have gathered for a second day of protests against spiralling inflation and other economic woes after the first day ended in clashes with police and 29 arrests.
    Wednesday’s protests kicked off at about noon GMT amid a heavy police presence.
    Hundreds had taken to the streets on Tuesday to denounce price hikes, a tax on electronic payments and other levies amid an economic downturn.
    Police dispersed the authorised march with tear gas and water cannon after demonstrators turned violent and wounded a dozen officers, according to a statement.
    They arrested 29 demonstrators for “attacks and damage to public property” and were reviewing footage of the event to identify more participants.
    Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from the capital Accra.

    Ghanaian have so much land, more than 75%of the population have garden space, meaning they don't live in apartments or on top of each other. PLANT YOUR OWN FOOD PEOPLE, IT'S NOT HARD!

      Not a bad idea but since the 1990s Ghana has never had a serious Agriculture Policy.
      We import 80 Percent of our food Shoprite Game and Decathlon.
      An independent nation that cannot feed itself easily after 65 years of independence.
      This is a wake up call for our University Graduates since 2012.

    Do you expect every country facing hikes in prices around the world to protest? Let’s not be foolish to let ndc use us for their political gains. I don’t support npp either. If this was a non partisan protest I would gladly support it. But unfortunately it’s being led by ndc. Who are the same as the npp

      A protest is a protest regardless of which party instigate it. The grievances of these protesters are genuine and every Ghanaian is affected .
      The government is being insensitive.
