The Executive Secretary of the Ghana Refugee Board, Mr. Tetteh Paddie, has reported the successful relocation of over 100 refugees following the demolition of Buduburam.
In an interview with Citi News, he explained that the relocated individuals have been transferred to various refugee camps across Ghana.
“Most of the Liberians in Buduburam are not refugees. Some are former refugees who have chosen to stay in Ghana and are no longer under the care of the Ghana Refugee Board. Those who remain under our care have been relocated to a refugee camp in the Western region,” he stated.
He added that about 150 refugees have been relocated.
However, efforts are ongoing to facilitate the repatriation of the remaining Liberian refugees back to their homeland.
“The first batch of Liberians, as we all know, has left. The Liberian governments have indicated that they will come and continue with the repatriation for those who want to return voluntarily. I cannot give you a date, but we can confirm with the Liberian government when the next movement will be.
