Day 30: Est. 1957

AD 1957: Freedom and Justice

This morning at Independence Square!

55 years ago today, Ghana became the first African country (below the Saharan desert!) to gain independence from the British.











Every year, thousands of Ghanaians flock to Independence Square to enjoy the parade, the music, speeches from the President and a flyover from the Air Force. Random musicians and hawkers-a-plenty, it really was a brilliant day and a fitting end to an incredible month.







Got to run, got a flight to catch! But if you need me over the next few days, I'll be sleeping off my exhaustion and dreaming of Ghana.
