Liberia: Several Refugees Deported From Ghana

Sixteen Liberian refugees who were recently faced with deportation orders by the Ghanaian government arrived yesterday at the Roberts International Airport (RIA) in Margibi County onboard an F-27 Ghanaian Air Force plane. The arrival of the deportees appeared as though something very serious and gruesome were going to happen as journalists were allegedly prevented by some staff of the Liberia ...

Its a shame what this reporter wrote about the ongoing Liberian refugee issue in Ghana. I am a Ghanaian but the fact must be face.

As much as i disagree with the $100 resettlement, the action of some of the protesting refugees must be condemned. $100 to start life with after many years outside your country is too little and i understand my brothers and sisters from Liberia but their concerned could have been raised in a more proper and legal means.

Though some action by the police is uncall for but these refugees have their self to be blame. When this protest began, our interior minister called a meeting with their leaders to end it and resolve it through the legal means since their protest is illegal against the laws of Ghana. Again they were called to a meeting and were warned since the initial plea fell in deaf ears. Where else in the world or even in their own country can one take the laws in their own hands and do whatever pleases them?

It is false there were no food and water at the kodeabe youth centre left alone snake bites. Weren't their ring leaders of the protest preventing food distribution at the camp, women stripping themselves naked?

Those 16 deported Liberians were not refugees who found their way to the camp and were fueling the protest and no two ways about their deportation because Ghana doesn't need such people.

We don't hate foreigners, we have stayed with these refugees for almost 18 years as brothers and sisters, i happened to lived and worked near Krisan camp where i had a lot of friends among the Liberian refugees. Lets don't allow few people to tarnish the good relation these two countries enjoy.

You cant fight for your right against the laws of the land, Ghana does not belong to UNHCR, I believe when those trouble makers are deported, the rest can have a good negotiation so that their demand can be met because $100 is too small to begin life with. I wish the remaining Liberian brothers and sisters all the best of luck.

I regart the unfortunate news about the Liberian refugees in Ghana. Why did the Ghanaian government acted in such a harmful way that they disgrace the Liberians? Why did the Liberian government apologise about the situation that took place few days ago?
