Sex Boom At Refugee Camp

Reports reaching NEWS-ONE say the sex drive among Ivorian male refugees in Ghana is so high that authorities are getting worried and have therefore arranged for 100,000 pieces of condoms to be given to them.

The reports suggest that at the Ampian refugee camp in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region, hot sex in interesting positions has become the key source of entertainment and stress reducing mechanism.

The men are said to be very good in bed and swing their waists so well that the women find it difficult to turn down their sex proposals.

Several of the females have reportedly become pregnant and the fear is that the population at the camp would soon increase. Already, there have been some 40 births since March this year, though all the mothers were pregnant before getting to the camp. Four children were delivered just last Sunday night and many more are expected this week.

The 100,000 condoms would be distributed for free to the inmates and the cost is being funded by USAID, an international NGO, to help reduce the growing population at the camp, as it is getting out of hand for the camp managers.

The manager of the Ampain refugee camp, Mr. Forson, who confirmed the story, said the condoms distribution would go a long way to ensure the camp was not over populated, adding that the move was to also prevent HIV/AIDS and other STDs.

According to Mr. Forson, the condoms would be distributed among adolescents as well since most of them had strong sexual desires. He disclosed that health personnel would teach the refugees how to use the condoms, especially the female type.

He noted that the camp population hit 5,000 last week while the figure was half a couple of weeks ago.

“We are challenged as camp management because while our internal population is booming, more refugees are brought in everyday, making things difficult as a camp,” he explained.

Mr. Forson, who could not disclose the number of pregnant women currently, further appealed to individuals and organizations to come to their aid to enable them to run the camp because they were challenged materially.
