Why do you people keep pushing this propaganda?! What exactly are you trying to prove when the river goes right back to its contaminated colour afterwards???
Residents have repeatedly explained that where the Ankobra meets the sea, the mixing of seawater and river water can temporarily change the colour of the river. So why is this particular spot continuously being presented as evidence that the fight against illegal mining is working?
If there was really a serious and effective fight against galamsey, we would be seeing measurable improvements across the other waterbodies affected by illegal mining, not just a temporary colour change at one particular section of the Ankobra. In the 2024 protests against illegal mining I saw pro government accounts push this same type of propaganda. You are not gaslighting any of us here #StopGalamseyNow
