Following Monday’s coup in Burkina Faso, the military announced the closure of the country’s borders.
But I have just traveled up from Ghana’s capital, Accra, to the main border post with Burkina Faso to find that it is open with traffic – mainly lorries – passing through.
It is a very busy road as Burkina Faso is landlocked and depends on Ghana’s sea port for imports.
Burkinabès also export lots of tomatoes to Ghana.
Locals on the Ghanaian side are not even aware that borders with its West African neighbour should be shut.
It is business as usual.
