As it continuously appears, the protesters at the ongoing #StopGalamsey protest in Accra are going to any length to explain the gravity of the impacts of illegal mining, especially in our water bodies, to the rest of Ghanaians.

From filling bottles with some of the water from some of these polluted rivers in the country to serving politicians with this water and sometimes, bread, there is a new one; a bucket.

This brown bucket which became famous on Day 2 of the 3-day protest, is unique for a major reason; it has water from all the 16 rivers of Ghana that have been noticeably affected by the activities of galamsey operators.

As though to mimic the colour of the water from these rivers (which is typically dark brown or somewhat chocolaty), the protesters chose to use a brown bucket.
