Liberia repatriates more citizens from Ghana’s Buduburam camp
More Liberians were repatriated Sunday from Ghana on buses arranged by the Liberian government. The first group of 700 arrived in Liberia last month. Thousands who fled their country’s civil war in the early 1990s have been living at the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana. In 2010, the Ghanaian Refugee Board reached an agreement with the UNHCR to close the camp. In March 2024, authorities began demolishing its structures. Dennis Gwion, president of the Buduburam Camp, tells VOA’s James Butty, the latest group of refugees are happy to be going back home where they don’t have to sleep in churches or school buildings.
