Why are these villages in Ghana sinking? BBC Africa


Coastal villages in Ghana are under threat of rising sea levels, one of the visible impacts of climate change. As fishing communities are forced to move from one village to another, fisherwomen find themselves in an increasingly vulnerable position. Many have been made to move out of Fuveme, in eastern Ghana, as their homes were flooded and the…

Same happening in porto Ambuim Town (Angola)

@RA-ms3je

BBC for every bad news in Africa, there is simultaneously a 1000 good news.
Please do better

@mozi3051

Its worse in Northern somalia. Very high tides and tonnes of sand that swallow up entire towns. Coupled with the strong winds in an arid place.

@KoongChetty

No worrys me

@Master-AGN

Continental shift? No change is US or Aus tide gauges.

@eee-YYY-sss

Maybe it is true that SA has some security issues just as all other country in the world would (including the western ones).

But I am surprised how quickly this came to surface after South Africa's International Court of Justice stand against Israel.

Their "punishment" to South Africa from the west was quick.

@franciskelly7385

BBC is about the negative stories in Africa and they uplift their own 🤷🏾‍♂️

@UYIGUESTANLEY

BBC and cnn is the most useless broadcasting service

@Yaaron_Zongo

@BBC you didnt have to zoom in on the "red eyes" of the people.

@kelepmensah

Leave Ghana alone

@urgessakelbessa7803

But Why BBC?

@stefanopolis1421

I am wondering if BBC has done anything for this community yet?

@innertee1885

Villages in Ghana aren't sinking we're tires of your false Narratives

@JamesClarke-l1f

every sea port town has a place of low levels. Ghana is no different. Propaganda maybe. I just don't see how is this news. BBC can have thousands of reports of countries, towns, villages having this same experience. LA California for decades or more, Yet Ghana has beautiful robust sea sights and villages. impeccable. Keep loving it.

@tonysherwood9619

Longshore drift!

@lentisas

The area is low lying and has always been reclaimed by the sea. This has been happening since the 50s. My point is this is not a recent phenomenon. Unless global warming has been happening since the 50s and even before that. We can't ascribe this to climate change

@vidafiadorwu1467

I love the story line

@emilyquito5528

Ghuna is big in vudu. What did the expect making so many deals with the devi ? Lol

@i--hate--life

Why is life so hard

@aaronfrimpong2407

Maybe there's nothing positive to report about the continent anymore. Selfish leaders ain't supporting their communities.

@ericopoku2179

One sad thing is they called that place a world bank for one particular Political party they get 98 percent of the vote cast in that region but sadly they have no development in the area but when is elections you'll see them there shame to African politicians

@RichardAddo-v2g

We seek support from international communities seems has been our anthem since ages ago. We just don’t maintain our properties as a state. We wait for it to go bad then we start playing the hero to resuscitate them. It is well my Ghana

@kormikudjordji4388

The Ghanaian authorities know Western Togoland was grafted into Ghana so they are not willing to spend money on us.

For years, world few corrupted people has put this Western Togoland under slavery. Years now it's makes me the some are still exiting throwing dust into the face of UN/UNPO that refuse to listen to our voice crying for freedom. Where is human right establish for? What are the duties of the peace keepers/makers for neglecting Western Togoland this way? UNPO please where are you. Let the world knows the best of your office. It's taken too long hearing the best use of your creadible high office. thanks.

@benjaminsefadzi1353

This what we are facing under Ghana government as people of Volta region, we are neglected but they (the government of Ghana) call as the world bank voters, we use to vote for them massively but this what we always get back as our appreciation. Benjamin from Atiteti a nearby community of then Fuveme.

@kenchumah9497

This is bound to happen. It’s only a matter of time. Same thing is happening in villages in Lagos Island, Nigeria.

@TOGOLANDLIBERATIONTV

One reason the population is calling for their separate country from Ghana because aside climate change which we keep blaming the government keep erecting Sea defense walls in other regions where there are fewer population as compared to this areas. The land has simply been neglected.

How can I help this community?
