Ibrahim Mahama supports second phase evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa

His intervention comes days after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the commencement of the second phase of its voluntary evacuation exercise for an estimated 1,000 Ghanaians who registered to return home following xenophobic attacks targeting African nationals in South Africa.

Thousands of African nationals have been evacuated by their respective countries following recent violence orchestrated by anti-migrant groups in South Africa.

Meanwhile, the President of South Africa has expressed regret over the deaths of foreign nationals during the unrest, while maintaining that his government does not support or condone the actions of the protesters.
