In a powerful statement that resonates with many Ghanaians, Efia Odo has raised critical questions about the current state of oppression in the country.
Amidst the ongoing arrests of citizens protesting against illegal mining, known as galamsey, she boldly challenges the narrative of external blame, stating, “St us free from oppressors’ rule. Who is our oppressor? Before, we used to blame the white man, but if we search deeply, it’s our own skin folk causing the oppression.”
Efia Odo’s comments come at a time when public frustration is mounting over the government’s response to the protests.
Demonstrators, advocating for a sustainable future and the protection of their communities from the harmful effects of illegal mining, have faced harsh crackdowns, with many arrested and denied bail.
The activist’s poignant questions reflect a growing sentiment among the populace, who feel that their right to advocate for their country’s future is being stifled.
The recent arrests have sparked widespread outrage among civil society and activists who argue that the government should prioritize environmental protection and public health over the interests of illegal miners.
