- 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.
Understand their frustrations though
Ghana have lots of Oil. Ghana need to stop borrowing money. Ghana open up a Africans Ghana Bank but the loaners for opening up this Africans bank. Ghana borrowers the money from the EU. When will these so called Africans Unions leaders wakeup. Africans Africa have everything. Come on now..
STOP TAKING MONEY FROM IMF YOU STUPID IDIOTS 🤪✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
It's not easy living in Ghana today. Prices of commodities rises everyday. We can't keep up with this.
all people need to stand up for themselves, and stop trusting any politicians
Inflation is going on in everywhere in the world
This is a country (Ghana) that imports even tinned tomatos from Europe.
How in a country with fertile land and plenty of rain. Import food?
Now blaming their failure on Russia/Ukraine.

It's everywhere
Akuffo Addo's government is reckless in terms of spending. They don't have anything to offer ghana apart from corruption.

They certainly cannot grow gasoline /petro!
Yesss. Make your voices heard 👍🏽💡💡
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.
Don't forget the sitting president held the biggest Demo in the history of the country 🤡🤡🤡like mahama said ghanaians with short memory smh
Grow up. This isn't about political parties. Remember what the vice President said, "exchange rate will always expose how good or bad you run a country"
You only want to hear fake online hype on Ghana while you suffering in Ghana
The high cost of living is unbearable

The rate at which prices of goods are increasing in Ghana is unbearable.....Akuffo Addo's government is such a poor one

The Akuffo Regime is the worst govt in Ghana History.
He doesn't deserve to be President in 2022 together with his wife and Cabinet,
