An Obuasi based Pressure group; Obuasi Must Live Coalition is calling on the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC) to do all what it can to make both AngloGold Ashanti and the Artisans Small Scale Miners coexist peacefully.
The group made this call yesterday at a Press Conference in Obuasi to register their displeasure on the news of a total shutdown of the Obuasi Mine, which will have a long lasting effect on the already crippling Obuasi economy.
“Both AGA and Small Scale miners should be allowed to coexist peacefully.”, they stated.
The Obuasi Must Live Coalition came up with the hash tag, #ObuasiMustNotDie to gather public support in abid to let the leadership of the region intervene and support the mine from a total collapse.
