Extremely disturbed to learn that Accra officials this time successfully violently displaced the entire neighbourhood of Agbogbloshie with little warning.
This was a bustling area with a market, scrappers, recyclers and fixers. Now it is a wasteland.

Apparently scrappers resisted the violent eviction by the city of Accra.

Market sellers have been offered a new location - but what about the rest of the neighbourhood?

We strongly believe that the media's shock (and inaccurate) portrayal of Agbogbloshie as Europe's #ewaste dumping ground lay the groundwork for such injustice.

What will happen to those who were supporting their extended families (including in the poorer north of the country) working in recycling and reuse? And the children with nowhere else to go?
Is there a proper remediation plan for the site?
