Demolition of Accra’s iconic James Town fishing community began late last month, to construct a China-funded multi-million-dollar fishing harbor.
Rubble is all that’s left of a brightly colored playground in Accra’s James Town fishing community that children once enjoyed before it was demolished in May.
The demolition by a Chinese government-funded project fulfills years of promises by authorities to upgrade the harbor.
“These are children, for some of them, their parents, it’s hard for them because in this community we don't have any work or a job for these women.
“When the fishing harbor is constructed it is going to boost the economic life of this community and that is what will change the lives of a lot of people in the community.
