Ghana: Anti-government protest in front of Jubilee House in Accra Sept. 21-23

Event

The anti-government #FixTheCountry movement has called for a picket in front of Jubilee House in Accra from Sept. 21-23. The purpose of the action is to denounce bad governance and potential military intervention in Niger, among other issues. Participants are expected to gather daily from 06:00-17:00. It is unclear whether authorities have sanctioned the protest. The event may draw hundreds of participants. The public holiday Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day falls on Sept. 21.

Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions are likely near Jubilee House until the action concludes. Clashes between security forces and protesters cannot be ruled given the anti-government nature of the demonstration.

Advice

Avoid all protests. Exercise caution near Jubilee House. Heed the advice of security personnel and leave the area immediately at the first sign of any confrontation.
