Ghana's FM Discusses Russia Ukraine Recruitment
During his visit to Moscow, Ghana's Foreign Minister, Samuel Abeikwaa, discussed the repercussions of the Russian-Ukrainian war on his country's citizens. He announced that 62 Ghanaians have lost their lives, with another 15 still missing, as a result of being lured into participating in the conflict through false job offers in construction, services, and security sectors, only to be pushed into combat roles. Abeikwaa confirmed that the Ghanaian government continues efforts to track down and dismantle illegal recruitment networks, and calls on Russia to take action to prevent its citizens from being involved in the war. In response, the Russian Foreign Minister clarified that some Africans signed contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense out of solidarity or financial reasons. Moscow emphasized its readiness to support security initiatives and normalize relations between ECOWAS and the G5 Sahel coalition. Lavrov described the situation in the Sahel as complex, with an increasing threat of terrorism. He pointed to the signing of bilateral agreements, including exemptions from visa requirements for diplomatic passport holders, and noted Russia's preparedness to participate in the upcoming Moscow African Summit, where the Ghanaian president plans to meet with President Putin.
