Hundreds of people are reported to be trapped in a gold mine in Ghana.
Many of them came out but were arrested for working underground “illegally”. Families of those held by police have called their arrest “cruel”.
The country’s southern Ashanti region is known for its mining industry.

It's a shame what has become of my country Ghana!!!!!!
just bitcoin and you wont have this problem. dont be dumb its 2023
The mana interview translation was all wrong
Illegal miners are polluting our rivers with harmful substances.they are environmental terrorists but don't wish them death,i wish them jail
The mine is named aptly. Ashanti in Hindi means unrest.
Hmmmmm My Country
Why is this not getting news coverage anywhere else?
Ghana is so corrupt, they won’t dare do that to the Chinese doing illegal mining.
They are thieves ,the entrance is open but they won't get out because of arrest .The country is hard for all of us but we're not doing galemsey.we hustle for kejetia if they buy one koraa we thank God .They want to get rich quick. w
It’s a shame and disheartening for how corrupt politicians have destroyed my beloved country.
Arrested the escapees and want lots of money to let them out of jail?
Look like she is acting
Stol misreporting, Ghana would not tolerate lawlessness. You did not talk to any official to know the truth.
Most of these young men have come from various places hoping to make quick money, they have no regard for the law.
As the President the way the police and the people law less corruption this People are not good to be leaders but is tribal choice so 🤷 😢
All just for american and Israel gold.
Dont get me wrong… whole gold market
horrific
