Ghana's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced that the country will receive 40 more West African deportees from the US soon. This decision comes after Ghana accepted 14 deportees earlier, sparking criticism from the Minority who accused the government of bypassing parliamentary approval.
KEY POINT:
Humanitarian Grounds: Ghana's decision is driven by humanitarian concerns, aiming to offer refuge and hope to fellow Africans facing harsh treatment abroad.
No Financial Benefits: Ghana hasn't received or sought any financial compensation from the US for this arrangement.
Vetting Process: The government will vet deportees before their arrival to ensure they don't pose a security threat.
Pan-African Solidarity: Ghana's action is guided by Pan-African ideals and a commitment to regional solidarity.
Ablakwa emphasized that this decision isn't an endorsement of US immigration policies, particularly those of President Trump. Ghana's goal is to position itself as a haven for Africans, providing comfort and support to those in need.
