Policy

Key Points

  • Ghana is commencing the final phase of its mass repatriation exercise for citizens stranded in South Africa following recent xenophobic attacks.
  • Approximately 900 Ghanaians voluntarily registered for this final phase, adding to hundreds already repatriated in earlier stages.
  • Ghana's High Commissioner to South Africa, Benjamin Quashie, confirmed the operation, facilitated by the Office of the President and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
  • President John Dramani Mahama engaged with a South African delegation, urging greater transparency and stronger action against recurring attacks on foreign nationals.
  • After this emergency program, Ghanaians needing assistance to return home will be supported through regular consular services.

Why This Matters

This matters for Ghana as it showcases the government's commitment to protecting its citizens abroad and ensuring their safety during humanitarian crises. It also underscores Ghana's active diplomatic role in advocating for the welfare of its nationals and other Africans facing xenophobia in South Africa, thereby influencing regional stability and human rights discussions.
