Stop Galamsey Now Protest

Stop Galamsey Now is a protest led by the Democracy Hub to put pressure on the Government of Ghana to enforce measures to stop illegal mining practices in Ghana.[1] It was a 3-day protest organised from 21 September 2024 and lasted until 23 September 2024. Protesters demanded a direct and decisive intervention from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in the form of a presidential order that stops all illegal mining activities, particularly in forest reserves and along key rivers.[2]
