As missile strikes and retaliations rattle the Middle East, Ghana is adding its voice to the growing chorus calling for peace, and urging citizens in the affected regions to stay safe.
The call began with Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who appealed to Israel, the United States, and Iran to step back from the brink and choose dialogue over war.
Now, Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially weighed in, advising the three global powers to talk things out before the world turns into a boxing ring.
In a statement, the Ministry said it is “closely monitoring with serious concern” the rising tension across the region.
The same tension that has forced airspace closures, grounded flights, and triggered serious security alerts across Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE.
Ablakwa, echoing the Ministry’s concerns, also issued practical advice for Ghanaians living in these hotspots.
He urged them to avoid unnecessary movement, stay indoors, steer clear of large gatherings, follow local instructions to the letter, and most importantly, keep their documents safe and ready at all times.
The message from Ghana is clear: war benefits no one, and dialogue is the only way forward.
As the world watches and waits, the hope is that cooler heads will prevail before things spiral further out of control.
