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.

cc @heatha_a @AdamMinter 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?

therestartproject.org/petition-right… In the US, the new administration is making strong moves in favour of repair. The European Commission committed to more this year.

The UK government, @beisgovuk @DefraGovUK must make strong commitments to longer-lasting products and repair. Good for the planet and job-creating.
