Ghana's Economic Crisis Sparks Protests and Arrests

Demonstrators in Ghana's capital, Accra, gathered for a third day of anti-government protests, expressing frustration over the high cost of living and lack of job opportunities. The protests come as the country grapples with its worst economic crisis in a generation, driven by spiraling public debt. Despite police arrests and roadblocks, the situation remained calm on Saturday. Last year, similar protests resulted in clashes with law enforcement. Critics argue that the government has not done enough to alleviate the economic challenges faced by its citizens, with economic growth projected to slow to 1.5% this year.
