About the Buduburam camp
The Buduburam camp, used to host mainly Liberians who sought asylum in Ghana during the unrest in that country.
But it is currently hosting other foreign nationals from Nigeria, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and some Ghanaians.
It became the home of Liberian refugees after it was opened by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in 1990. It was initially home to some 12,000 refugees.
It also houses refugees from Sierra Leone who fled their country’s civil war between 1991 and 2002.
