Ghana: Coastal Erosion Sparks Road Blockade Protest

Coastal Erosion Fuels Protest in Ketu South Municipality. Residents of Ketu South Municipality in Ghana blocked the Keta-Aflao road Monday evening to protest the government's delay in starting the Blekusu Sea Defence Project Phase II. The ongoing coastal erosion has damaged homes and livelihoods. "The road linking Aflao to Keta is gone," said one resident, highlighting the severity of the situation. Another added, "We've lost our homes, we have nowhere to sleep." The protest underscores the urgent need for government intervention to address the crisis and protect the community from further damage. The government's response to the situation remains awaited.
