A Ghanaian woman has voiced her frustration over what she perceives as the negative impact of refugees in the country, citing concerns about the hygiene and behavior of some non-natives.
She expressed her sentiments, particularly addressing what she described as the unpleasant smell of refugees’ urine and clothes on the streets, which she claims makes her sick.
In a statement, the woman shared her perspective, stating, “Foreigners are frustrating us in this country. The smell of their urine and clothes on our streets makes me sick all the time.”
The number of immigrants appears to be steadily growing, causing heightened apprehension within the country.
According to reports, in 2023, approximately 500 individuals from Burkina Faso communities migrated to Fufulso, a suburb located in the Central Gonja District of the Savannah Region.
The influx of migrants has stirred fear among the residents, who are now concerned about the safety of their lives and property.
Sources within Fufulso have disclosed that these foreigners typically arrive during the night and have been integrating into the community as residents since their arrival.
Foreigners are frustrating us in this country.
