Burma Camp walls

Burma Camp is the headquarters of the Ghana Armed Forces[1] and the Ghanaian Ministry of Defence. The camp is in Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana.[2] It retains notoriety and fear from previous Ghanaian military regimes, when civilians who entered the camp might not re-emerge.[3] It was the site of fighting during the June 1979 coup that placed Jerry Rawlings in power. The museum was opened on 5 March 1957. Burma Camp has twenty-four (24) schools, with a learner population of 14,712.[4]
