Scores of aggrieved Ghanaian youth have taken to the streets of Accra to protest against the government.
Members of the Democracy Hub kicked off the #OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstration on Saturday at the Liberation Road Roundabout.
This followed their insistence on proceeding with their planned three-day protest at the Revolutionary Square, despite objections from the Ghana Police Service.
The security services have set up roadblocks from 37 Military Hospital to Jubilee House in response to the gathering of angry youth.
The protesters are seen burning campaign materials of the governing NPP in the middle of the road, accusing some officials of being complicit in the illegal mining activity.
The protest intends to draw attention to key national issues such as galamsey, socio-economic injustice, unemployment, rising poverty, state capture, nepotism, corruption, and the need for judicial independence.
Myjoyonline's photojournalist, David Andoh is with the protesters and captured these photos.
