Some concerned Ghanaians have called on West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus to make his voice heard regarding the recent protests against illegal mining activities, known locally as galamsey.<\/p>\n According to them, the destruction of water bodies by illegal mining activities should be condemned by high-profile personalities like Kudus.<\/p>\n They also mentioned that there have been instances where Black Stars players, both retired and active, have spoken out against national issues, which helped to curb them.<\/p>\n The comments were made on X, formerly known as Twitter, after Kudus scored for West Ham United in a 4-1 win over Ipswich Town in the English Premier League on October 5, 2024.<\/p>\n He headed in the ball after it bounced off the goal post, marking his first strike of the season, having previously struggled to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n Kudus has arrived in Ghana to prepare with the Black Stars team for a crucial tie against Sudan at the Accra Sports Stadium on October 10, 2024.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the #StopGalamsey protest is a group of Ghanaians who are aggrieved by the destruction of water bodies by illegal mining activities, calling on the government to take action to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n The demonstration lasted for three days, from October 3 to 5, 2024.<\/p>\n Some protesters were arrested by the police and are awaiting a court hearing to determine their fate.<\/p>\n <\/b>Read the reactions below:<\/p>\n @KudusMohammedGH<\/a> , your nation needs you to make our voice be heard , we have seen how other footballers stand with their nation in hard times , Star boy don\u2019t be a spectator pic.twitter.com\/0FxVfjC2ri<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Shellova233 (@Shellova233) October 5, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Mohammed.
