Hundreds of Ghanaians took to the streets of the capital Accra calling for the resignation of President Nana Akufo-Addo following record inflation and the government’s handling of the economic crisis

After once promising a Ghana without aid, last week President Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaians to support his decision to seek an IMF loan.

 

The economic crisis is affecting people in all walks of life.

 

Ghana is seeking a $3 billion loan from the IMF to cope with record inflation of 37 percent and the collapse of its currency, the cedi.

 

Most of the demonstrators wore red T-shirts bearing the slogan “You might as well kill me.”

 

The president’s move to seek IMF help has raised fears the government will impose austerity measures which will further burden a population already struggling with soaring prices.
