Drama unfolded at the Takoradi Market Circle on Friday afternoon when two female Ivorians suspected to be asylum seekers engaged each other in hot quarrel that attracted a number of onlookers to the scene.
The two females who were quarrelling in fluent French wore opposite white T-Shirts with portraits of their political idols, embattled Laurent Gbagbo and internationally recognized winner of last November
disputed polls Alhassan Quattara embossed in them.
Interestingly, the altercation reached a fever pitch when the one wearing Gbagbo’s T-Shirt pushed her opponent and a scuffle ensued between them but they were quickly separated by the onlookers who were visible enjoying the squabble even though some of them who did not understand the French kept on shouting repeatedly “Gbagbo and Quattara in Ghana Part 2”
Some of the onlookers also threatened the women they will be arrested by the police if they continued but that fell on deaf ears.
Unfortunately, this reporter also did not also understand the French and therefore could not ascertain exactly what provoked the argument.
In recent time, the twin city of Sekondi-Takoradi had been inundated with so many Ivorians some staying in hotels and rented apartments as a result of the heightened political upheavals in the neighboring Cote d’Ivoire.
Meanwhile, the majority of the asylum seekers were being accommodated at the Ampain refugee camp in the Ellembelle District and Eagle Star reception centre at Elubo in the Jomoro District.
They are being catered for by the UNHCR, NADMO, Ghana Refugee Board and other donor agencies.
