An associate Protection Officer at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Ghana, Edmund Kwofie has stated that the UNHCR does not recognize the presence of Liberian refugees in Ghana. According to him, they are “are not persons of concern to UNHCR,” since the conditions that allowed them to stay in the country have changed. Several years after peace has been restored in Liberia, the Liberians continue to live in the camp with some integrated through marriage with Ghanaians. The residents however recently received a letter from the government directing them to leave the camp. In 2015, they were given the opportunity to appeal to government to be resettled but many did not meet the criteria.
