Ethnic clashes force boy, 9, to work at galamsey pit for survival

If you think peace is expensive try throwing a war sometimes. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Every war is going to astonish you in the way it has occurred and in the way it is carried as the experience and life touching story of this little poor soul below vividly depicts.

Nine-year-old primary three school pupil, Tengzor Yinbang has been forced to work as a labourer at an illegal gold mine to raise money for survival.

Little Tengzor, a pupil of Tindongo Primary School, is a victim of the recent ethnic clashes at Tindongo and Namolgo in the Upper East region during which nine people were killed and several houses were torched.

Tengzor Yinbang who lost all his belongings hopes to raise money to continue school.

Poor Yinbang was living with some good Samaritans who became victims of the clashes.

Little Yinbang narrated the circumstances of his family amidst tears. The boy lost his mother before he learnt how to speak and his father did not live long after that.

He earns a mere GH¢3 a day out of which he saves GH¢1 daily, hoping to raise enough money to go back to school. When will better Ghana reach this poor boy whose only is the fate of his birth? Hope someone is reading this piece. God have mercy!
