BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Ghanaian Youth Voice Discontent Over Government’s Failure to End Galamsey

Accra, Ghana — October 9, 2025

The Youth Association of Ghana has expressed growing concern over the government’s continued inability to end illegal small-scale mining, popularly known as GALAMSEY.

In a statement released this week, the group criticized both the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration and the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government for failing to deliver on promises to eliminate the practice, which continues to cause severe environmental degradation across the country.

The association recalled that former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo once vowed to end galamsey even if it meant putting his presidency on the line. However, according to the group, the situation worsened under his leadership, a factor they believe contributed to the NPP’s electoral defeat 2024.

Turning to the current NDC administration, the youth pointed out that President John Dramani Mahama also pledged to address illegal mining with the same determination that ended the dumsor energy crisis in 2015. Yet, after nearly nine months in office, the group says illegal mining remains at its peak.

> “If President Mahama fails to resolve the galamsey menace as he did with dumsor, the youth of Ghana will be deeply disappointed in both the NPP and the NDC,” the statement read. “At that point, young people will be compelled to look for an alternative political force that genuinely prioritizes environmental protection and the future of our nation.”

Environmental experts have consistently warned about the long-term effects of galamsey, including pollution of major rivers, destruction of arable lands, and loss of biodiversity. Despite numerous anti-galamsey task forces and policy interventions over the years, the practice remains widespread.

The Youth Association’s statement adds to the growing public pressure on the Mahama administration to take decisive and transparent action against illegal mining operators, regardless of their political affiliations

For your information, people from Amedzofe are not Ewes. They don't even speak Ewe when you visit that community. Though they are from Volta Region, they don't see themselves as Ewes. You as an Ewe person, you may visit that community but you will see your as a total stranger because they have their own language which quite and far different from Ewe okay? It is even said that, most of the people there are even affiliated to NPP tradition more than NDC. Don't come berate anyone this morning because of your discomfort and recklessness in training.

Unlike your criminal chiefs who go selling water bodies and forests to galamsey the Ewe chiefs are decent and educated. They will never compromise on the future of the environment like your stupid chiefs. Gbemelawo

Interesting. Both Ga and Ewe have tribal connections with Anago People. All of them don’t have Ghana at heart. They are all parasites.

But how can such places become tourists attractions? I doubt if anyone will pay money just to go and visit a forest that doesn’t produce any economic benefits to the country. If the forests have any economically-viable crops and minerals that will benefit the country, then that should be encouraged. But just a forest or forests? Eish!

Even Akatamanso/ DODOWA Forest is not a tourist attraction. That was the place where the Ashanti Army suffered its greatest first defeat in the hands of the combined coastal forces.That is the only place in Ghana’s local military defeat history that should be preserved and made a tourist attraction. But, who has heard of Amedzofe Forest? I doubt that the indigenous people themselves would even know about it.
