Ghana won't be accepting Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deportee from the United States, according to Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This firm stance was communicated clearly to US authorities, the Minister stated.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Ablakwa emphasized, "Ghana is not accepting Abrego Garcia. He cannot be deported to Ghana." This declaration comes amidst misleading media reports suggesting otherwise.
The Minister clarified that Ghana's previous agreement to accept a small number of non-criminal West Africans was rooted in African solidarity and humanitarian considerations. He explicitly stated that this arrangement "will not be expanded" to include individuals who don't meet these specific criteria.
Ghana's government is resolute in its objection to the US's deportation attempt. The Minister emphasized that the country remains firm in its position, ensuring that its borders aren't open to all deportees, particularly those who don't align with the established humanitarian agreement.
This decision highlights Ghana's commitment to its own immigration policies and its right to determine who enters its borders. The government is actively working to protect its interests and maintain control over its immigration processes.
