Description
Standing near the dried river bed marking Ghana’s northern border, Alima can see her hamlet, lying in Burkina Faso less than two kilometres (1.2 miles) away. Even though her home is just a short walk away, she says she will never go back there to live after gun-toting jihadists killed two watchmen in her village last year. The number of families crossing the border reinforces what Ghana’s government already knew: Ghana along with Gulf of Guinea neighbours Benin, Togo and Ivory Coast are fast becoming the new frontline in the Sahel jihadist war ravaging their northern neighbour.
