Beautiful Moment Occupy Julorbi House Protestors Defied Torrential Rains to Keep their Protest Going – Video
During the Occupy Julorbi House protest on Friday, activists defied Accra’s torrential rains to keep their protest continuing.
Rather than being defeated by the rains and abandoning their protest, they decided to transform the location into a carnival atmosphere, ensuring they remained warm while the sky unleashed their fury.
The breathtaking scene, captured in multiple social media videos, has gone global.
Protesters sang and danced in the rain to Banzy Banero’s ‘Hossana,’ demonstrating their tenacious spirit in the face of enormous hardships.
Interestingly, some social media users, apparently too dense to understand the gravity of the protestors’ disobedience, chastised them for converting their serious demonstration into a “jama session.”
On social media, it’s become usual to see remarks bashing protesters and labeling them as insincere.
However, such commentators show themselves as unserious and dim by failing to recognize that, despite enormous challenges, the protestors remained unafraid.
That kind of defiance, no matter how it’s presented, is a far stronger image than abandoning their protest due to rainfall or simply standing there while the rain beats down on them.
Yes, things are difficult, and we will continue to demonstrate, but the sight of protestors dancing in the rain indicates that the Ghanaian spirit will never be broken.
Those who do not understand this are simply not intelligent enough to understand symbols.
