Illegal mining in Ghana has taken a new turn with hordes of Chinese appearing in the Adansi and Amansie West districts of the country. As Ghanaians express their resentment towards the newcomers in violent ways, some Chinese miners are reaching for weapons to defend their operations. In other words, the former Gold Coast is hardly glittering above ground.......
Locals also worry about the environmental destruction being caused by the mining. Some activists feel compelled to take the law into their own hands.
