Independence Square is a vast area in Accra where massive celebrations can be held. On any day, this is the heart not only of Ghanaian, but also of African independence.
It was a strange sensation to walk onto the immense gathering space and parading ground behind Independence Monument all alone, with no one around, with empty grandstands. This area is able to hold 30,000 spectators, but now it was empty. Crowds gather every year on 6 March to commemorate Ghanaian Independence. I paused at the Independence Monument, where I noticed the eternal flame was extinguished. The monument is quite straightforward: a tall pedestal with a statue on top, a slab of marble at its feet and the large bowl which is supposed to hold the eternal flame, with black stars, at the end.
