Recently, irate youths overran Asanko Gold Mines' mining
facilities in the Manso neighborhood of Ghana's Ashanti Region. Deadly battles
between local youth groups and military officers preceded the upheaval.
Residents accused the military of murdering locals during a struggle over
mining concessions, which sparked the conflict. The young people responded by
demolishing earth-moving and mining equipment as a way to vent their outrage at
the deaths.
