@elorm_alek: May 1996. A rusty freighter called the Bulk Challenge sails out of Monrovia carrying about 3,500 people running from Liberia's war, bound for Ghana. Soon it's leaking, the fresh water is gone, and no port will take it. When it first reached Takoradi, Ghanaian authorities blocked it with huge floating cranes. Officials said they didn't want to encourage an exodus. A UN spokesman called it a "voyage of the damned." Then, ten days after the journey began, the ship was finally allowed into Takoradi. ©AP #palmwineandpolaroids #liberia #refugees #fypage #ghanatiktok🇬🇭

They were hosted at Budumburam. Today, some of them are in court fighting with Ghanaian natives over land.
