The anti-galamsey protest in Accra entered its second day as demonstrators intensified pressure on the government to end the environmental destruction and socio-economic crisis caused by illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.
The protest, organised by the Democracy Hub, follows a vigil held Sunday evening at Revolution Square, which marked the start of the campaign.
On Monday, protesters gathered at the Accra Mall and began their march towards the Jubilee House, where they are expected to present a petition to President John Mahama.
The two-day demonstration is part of sustained civic action aimed at drawing national attention to the devastating impact of galamsey on water bodies, farmlands, and livelihoods across the country.
