Obuasi Clashes: GJA Calls for Peace and Constructive Engagement

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has expressed deep concern over the recent violent clashes between soldiers and illegal miners in Obuasi, which resulted in the tragic death of some individuals.

The incident occurred last Saturday when illegal miners reportedly encroached on the concession of AngloGold Ashanti, leading to a confrontation with soldiers guarding the site.

In a statement, the GJA highlighted its constitutional mandate to uphold the principles, provisions, and objectives of the 1992 Constitution, including the human rights provisions enshrined in Chapter Five.

The association emphasized that it is equally concerned about the rights and welfare of all citizens, not just media practitioners.

GJA extended its deepest condolences to the bereaved families and called for calm and restraint within the community.

The association urged AngloGold Ashanti and the Military High Command to engage proactively and productively with the local communities to address any concerns and prevent further violence.

It also called on the President to take urgent action to address the ongoing issue of illegal mining, known locally as “galamsey.”

“We do not condone illegality,” the statement read, “but we believe there are better ways to engage and resolve conflicts.”

GJA affirmed that violence is never the solution and encouraged all parties to seek peaceful means of redress.
