Ghana Immigration's Accra Operation: Removing Beggars from the Streets

Accra's Streets Cleared of Beggars in Large-Scale Immigration Operation A major operation by the Ghana Immigration Service is underway in Accra to remove beggars from the streets. The operation, which began this morning, has already resulted in the relocation of hundreds of people to a central processing facility. Many of those involved are immigrants from neighboring African countries, including Nigeria and Mali. "Ghana Immigration Service this morning has taken severe measures against those beggars on the streets," stated a narrator in a widely circulated video documenting the event. The video shows large groups of people, many with children, being loaded onto buses by uniformed officials. The operation is taking place across multiple locations within Accra. Reports indicate that hundreds of individuals have been collected from various parts of the city, with the exact numbers still being tallied. While the operation aims to address the issue of begging in Accra, it also raises questions about the treatment and future of those being relocated. The Ghana Immigration Service has not yet released an official statement regarding the operation's details and long-term plans. However, the video footage provides a glimpse into the scale and impact of this significant event in Accra.
