Some slum dwellers in Agbogloshie in Accra, are threatening a naked demonstration over their planned eviction by city authorities. The AMA has given them up to tomorrow to evacuate the place or face forced eviction. The exercise is intended to pave way for rehabilitation work to commence on the country’s railway system. Human rights groups Amnesty International and Women in Slums Economic Empowerment have called on the AMA to be cautious in its handling of the matter as it could backfire. Secretary of the Agbobloshie Youth, Osman Alhassan said while the residents of Agbogbloshie were not resisting the eviction in principle, they think the process being adopted by the AMA, was crude and unacceptable. He said they are willing to relocate only if the city authorities make adequate plans to resettle them at a place with social amenities. “We are all Ghanaians and they cannot wake up one morning and come and say we should leave.” A meeting has however been scheduled today between the youth and government officials in the area on the way forward.
