As the dust settles on the biggest non-politically affiliated demonstration in Ghana’s recent history, conversations remain rife about its impact on the corridors of power.
Government is yet to publicly comment on the event which brought together thousands of youth across the country to vent their spleen over broken systems and unfulfilled promises by administrations.
While the group awaits a response, the conveners have hinted at another mammoth gathering in the second biggest city, Kumasi and eventually end up taking the #FixTheCountry protests country-wide.
Myjoyonline’s Kenneth Awotwe Darko walked the meandering route with the protestors from the Kwame Nkrumah Circle to the Black Star Square on Wednesday, August 4, 2021.
These images he shared, go beyond the packed crowds to highlight the emotions that fuelled the 6-kilometre trip and the messages hoisted by the visibly disgruntled mix of young and old.
