“It was the whole world that was watching Ghana” What they really care about here is the optics. People have done and said worse but this hit home because it was televised.

I know that some of us prefer to remain neutral when it comes to political issues in Ghana and choose not to engage with matters concerning the government. However, you can’t stay silent on this Galamsey menace bro. #FreeTheCitizens #EndGalamseyNow

You can’t pretend not to see what’s happening in the country and act unconcerned. Reports indicate that if this issue continues at its current rate, Ghana may be importing water by 2030. Nsuo oo!! This doesn’t sound crazy to you? And you are quiet? #EndGalamseyNow

It may sound unbelievable, but in 2021, the BBC reported that 60% of the water bodies in Ghana had already been destroyed by illegal mining activities. That was three years ago, so you can imagine what the situation is like now. #FreeTheCitizens #EndGalamseyNow

We all know who will suffer the most from the consequences of this crisis. It is truly sad to see how silent the local news outlets have been about the arrest and detainment of peaceful protesters advocating for an end to the Galamsey menace. #FreeTheCitizens #EndGalamseyNow

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re on our own. We’ve all seen how ineffective and unaccountable many of these Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) are—bodies that are supposed to protect the interests of the people. #FreeTheCitizens #EndGalamseyNow

Day in and day out, we wake up to scandal after scandal. The political class is not only making our present lives difficult; they are robbing us of our future as well. #FreeTheCitizens #EndGalamseyNow

It’s absurd that the police are not arresting those involved in illegal mining but are out in full riot gear unlawfully detaining innocent protesters and bystanders, including pregnant women and children. It’s sad. #FreeTheCitizens #EndGalamseyNow

We have always known the Ghana Police Service to be flawed, but this is a new low. As for the judges who have denied these protesters bail, the less said, the better. #FreeTheCitizens #EndGalamseyNow

Do not stop making your voices heard. Speak truth to power because Ghana is the only place we call home. We are Ghanaians, and we demand #FreeTheCitizens #EndGalamseyNow

NEW: Ghana's illegal gold mining crisis - galamsey - is poisoning the country's water and devastating forests. It's an "existential threat," an expert told CNN. Are mercury and other heavy metals used in mining causing stillbirths and deformed babies? Researchers think so
