I recently favourited a tweet by @Be_Wisdom: “Surburbia
is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after
them ~ Bill Vaughan”. Some developer or interloper whooshed a flame through a tin-and-wood
Central-Accra market that's crowded thick as fleas. The police won’t find the
arsonist. I suspect strongly that the cinders are intended to make way for the
construction of a capitalist, concrete-architectural crime-scene (how else to
describe the explosive sprout of sterile office and apartment blocks in the
least-green city that I know?). These traders are squatters in most of these
settlements – we all know that; but usually squatters on governmental no-man’s
land; permitted to settle for a decade or two or three. After the cinders, the
riots, the cracked skulls, the lies, the justifications and the public loss of
interest, a hideous and humongous habitat will hulk over the land that was
known as Kantamanto.
