NDC Demonstrate Against US Military Deal

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have hit the streets in the capital, Accra, today  March 28, to protest against a Ghana – US military defense cooperation agreement.

The demonstration is against the military pact, and a one-sided Parliament for ratifying it.

The Ghana – US defence cooperation agreement gives American soldiers unimpeded access to certain key installations and in return the West African country will earn $20 million by way of training of its soldiers and equipment.

A notice has been served by the police indicating that it is ready for the demonstration dubbed “Ghana First” and have warned the demonstrators to stick to the approved routes.
