A Ghanaian woman has openly expressed her frustrations regarding what she perceives as the negative impact of refugees in the country.
Her concerns primarily center around hygiene and behavior issues attributed to some non-native residents.
The woman shared her sentiments, particularly highlighting her discomfort with the perceived unpleasant smell of refugees’ urine and clothes on the streets, asserting that it makes her feel sick.
In a statement, she conveyed 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.”
Reports indicate that the refugee population has seen a steady increase, prompting heightened apprehension within the country.
In 2023, approximately 500 individuals from Burkina Faso communities migrated to Fufulso, a suburb in the Central Gonja District of the Savannah Region.
The influx of migrants has sparked fear among local residents, who now worry about the safety of their lives and property.
Sources within Fufulso reveal that these foreigners often arrive during the night and have been gradually integrating into the community as residents since their arrival.
