Kintampo South MP engages Libyan authorities over plight of Ghanaian migrants

By GhanaSummary Newsroom

She promised to engage the Government of Ghana, the Ghanaian Embassy in Libya, the International Organization for Migration and other relevant stakeholders to support the safe return and reintegration of stranded migrants.

Since 2017, more than 8,000 Ghanaian migrants have reportedly received voluntary return support, with many of the beneficiaries returning from Libya after becoming stranded or experiencing hardship along irregular migration routes.

According to her, stronger cooperation between the authorities could help create legitimate employment opportunities, protect Ghanaian workers from exploitation and reduce the number of young people relying on smugglers and dangerous desert routes to enter Libya.
