John Mahama noted the fight against illegal mining commonly known as galamsey is a complex one.

According to John Mahama, his government is determined and the gallant men of the Armed Forces and security services are up to the fight, and we will continue to score successes against the selfish companies.

Speaking at the 2025 May Day celebration at the Black Star Square in Accra, John Mahama stated, “The fight against galamsey is a complex one, and when I was vying for the presidency, I did not kid myself that when I come into office, I will win that fight in four months, yet we will not give up”.

“Our gallant men of the Armed Forces and security services are up to the fight, and we will continue to score successes against the selfish companies and individuals who are destroying our forests and polluting our water bodies,” the President stated.

“As far as the fight against galamsey is concerned, I say Aluta Continua”, he boldly declared.

Meanwhile, the Generational Rights Protection Society has suspended its planned protest scheduled for Tuesday, April 29.

The group had intended to continue its demonstration, which began on Monday, April 28, to demand urgent action against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.

Following a closed-door meeting with the Accra Police Command, the group said the police requested a suspension to allow further engagement and determine a new date.

“We thank the police very much for collaborating with us throughout the protest. Precisely today, Tuesday, April 29, we were supposed to converge where we ended the demonstration and continue day two, but just this morning [Tuesday], there was a call that came through the Deputy Attorney-General, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, together with the police command at the Accra region, the message is very simple ‘they pleaded with us for the day two to be postponed for them to be able to adequately prepare.”

He added, “We all know the stress we went through, but regardless, we have agreed and accepted their plea. The Deputy Attorney-General also pleaded on behalf of the government because the pressure is coming on them as well.”

#FixTheCountry convener and activist, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has expressed deep disappointment at organizers of the “Galamsey Must Fall” demonstration.

Barker-Vormawor criticized the decision to cancel the protest because of low attendance, emphasizing that true conviction and urgency are demonstrated by persistence even in the face of setbacks, as seen in previous demonstrations where small numbers and arrests did not deter participants.
