Ghana says it will evacuate around 300 Ghanaian citizens from South Africa after recent protests targeting foreign nationals. Ghana’s foreign minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, says the government has approved an “immediate evacuation” at the request of the president. He adds that the citizens being evacuated are those who are “distressed” and have registered with Ghana’s embassy in Pretoria. The announcement is based on information that some Ghanaians feel unsafe following a wave of anti-immigrant demonstrations in parts of South Africa. The reports say the planned evacuation covers citizens who have already registered through the diplomatic mission, indicating that Ghana is prioritising those who seek assistance. Details such as the timing of travel, the logistics of the extraction, and the destination within Ghana are not included in the provided accounts. The decision reflects an effort by Ghana’s authorities to respond to concerns raised by its citizens abroad amid unrest.
