The National Protest Against Galamsey continued with renewed energy on its second day, October 4, 2024, as demonstrators gathered in Accra to demand urgent action against illegal mining.
Protesters marched from Okponglo to Parliament House, aiming to submit a petition to the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources.
The Galamsey protest, part of the #StopGalamseyNow and #FreeTheCitizens movements highlighted both environmental concerns and the release of previously arrested protesters.
Public sentiment on social media reflected growing frustration, with many calling for the government to act decisively against the operators of illegal mines rather than the protesters.
The day began with a ‘Morning Devotion,’ a symbol of unity among demonstrators, setting the tone for a determined and peaceful protest.
One notable participant was 62-year-old Naa Densua, who rejoined the protest after being arrested earlier, representing the widespread commitment across demographics.
As the protest gains momentum, it underscores the urgency of addressing the galamsey crisis and ensuring environmental protection in Ghana.
