Ghana and Togo have kick-started the re-delineation their land border with border markers.
The move inspired by the need to stop border encroachment and address Ghana’s longstanding maritime dispute with Togo in the Gulf of Guinea will see experts from both nations construct 50 new international boundary pillars along a 40km (25-mile) stretch.
In Ghana, officials said some border markers were removed by vandals while others were eroded.
The century-old markers were last repaired in the 1970s.
Meanwhile, locals have expressed fears that the exercise could put them on the wrong side of the border.
In some parts communities from both countries mix together for social and economic activities
But there have been communal tensions too in some areas.
