Good piece of writing and analysis but what buffles me is- why are they against integration into the Ghanaian community. Arent we all Africans who can and should be able to co-exist in the same land no matter our tribal or religious background or countyr of origin?

After 18 years and Liberians cannot integrate into the Ghanaian communities with all the good hospitality they are offered then what went wrong or is going wrong? Why do they want resettlement in a Western country and not their own home country.

I think that make it clear that some individuals with ulterior motives are pushing this agenda and using children as a shield. otherwise they should just ask for their 1000 dollar resttlement fee to go home instead of wanting to be sent to the west when this notion has become untenable to be met by any reasonable government especially after the war has eneded about five years ago.

Right.To add to that,there are four different classes on that refugee cam which I will explain clearly. 1.There are refugees that lost every thing in the Civil crisis,Families killed,Houses burned,no relatives. This this group is it imposible to return Home especially considering the fact that it will create more sorrow and anger. 2.The second group of people are those that were actually involved in the deadly war and killed their own people.They fled the country from fear of been harm or jail.They feel that there is no way that they can return to Liberia. 3.The third group of people are those that are in School.There are Liberians in Universities in Ghana and can only go back upon complication.Know that they are considered international students and are charged accordingly. 4.The fourth and very important group are those that are marry both ways.Liberian Married to Ghanaian and the opposite.They can't just go back like that.There are some common connections that is holding them in Ghana which we must understand and consider. Christian

Educate them christian.They dont want to consider that these people are humans like themselves who needs to be listened to.

Are you aware that after 18 years those liberians refugees have not yet been accepted as part of the ghanaian society? Are you aware the people are still calling them foolish refugees? Do you know that when a liberian refugee and a ghanaian have a misunderstanding all other ghanaians around join their fellow ghanaian no matter how wrong he may be? Do you know that as a liberian refugee in ghana getting a job is near impossible? Would you want to integrate yourself into such society? Those people are living in Ghana out of constriants beyond their control.
