The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working to ensure the safe return and reintegration of 160 Ghanaians facing deportation from the US. Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said the ministry will support these individuals and help them settle back into society.
“The number, as we have received from our foreign service officials, is that about 160 Ghanaians are on the deportation list, and the deportation exercise is going on,” Ablakwa stated. “For us, on the grounds of humanitarian reasons and human rights, we have decided not to publicise information about them.”
Ablakwa explained that when the deportees arrive, the ministry’s team will welcome them and help with integration, connecting them with their families. “So, when they arrive, our team welcomes them and helps them with integration and connects them with their families. We are also working with other partners quietly because it is important that we respect the dignity of our fellow compatriots and not expose them to media coverage,” he said.
The ministry is committed to handling the situation with care, ensuring the deportees’ safe reintegration into Ghanaian society.
