Ghana: Workers seize the streets

WORKERS took to the streets across Ghana on Thursday demanding that the government addresses the country’s dire economy and alleviates the hardship faced by workers.

The one-day protest was called and supported by the Ghana Trade Union Congress.

More than 7,000 workers turned out in the capital, Accra, to accuse the government of mismanaging the economy.
