Police disperse protest over economic hardship in Ghana

ACCRA (Reuters) - Police clashed with hundreds of demonstrators in Ghana's capital Accra on Tuesday protesting against fuel price hikes, a tax on electronic payments and other levies as the country grapples with spiralling inflation and an economic downturn.

Ghanaians in recent months have been feeling the pinch of record inflation and the fallout of the Ukraine war amid cuts in government spending to avoid a full-blown debt crisis.
