I understand the purpose but, no need to sensationalize the issue!

Hello 2fresh4dell !

Sensationalism is not our purpose... and I think it's clear that arresting a bunch of women and children is not the way to solve the larger issues at hand. Unfortunately, the situation at Buduburam camp has been festering for a long time now. Since October of 2006 we have done our best to give voice to the camp's inhabitants. Will international organizations finally listen to them, and actually seek to involve the refugees in the search for a durable solution?

they are the victims, they did not ask to for what people like Charles Taylor, prince Johnson and so on have done to them and their family members , I can I can understand them not wanted to go back with most of the war lords still passing around in Liberia some which are in the persent government as senators, what gose around comes around

Africa can never be a united states of Africa, Liberia has refugees camps on its soil from other African countries , what a shame helpless women and children sitting in a open field because they fear to go back home from memories of the war have been beating by Ghanaian police , these people have lost everything in life ( family members, property) they are not ungrateful, being a refugee is not a crime

This is not sensationalism. I have a friend working as a volunteer in the refugee camp. Well over six hundred women and children, who were peacefully protesting, were taken away and have not been returned. This video is depicting the true situation at Buduburam.
