President tasks ECOWAS to implement protocols on xenophobic attacks

He said the Compact rested on six pillars, namely peace and security; economic transformation; science, technology and digital innovation; youth, women and future generations; institutional reforms, and geopolitical positioning, alongside democracy, adding that none of it would matter without implementation.

President John Dramani Mahama has raised the alarm over recent xenophobic attacks on African nationals in South Africa, describing the killings of Ghanaians and Nigerians as a matter of urgent concern to the continent.“Geography has made us neighbours, history has made us partners, and our future requires that we remain one West African family,” he said.
