The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has cautioned Ghanaians against non-essential travels to conflict-prone countries.

Also, the Ministry has advised citizens to be vigilant regarding intermediaries who claim to offer enticing opportunities such as employment, residency, and citizenship permits.

This alert follows the ongoing wars in various countries.

In a statement, the Ministry emphasized the dangers associated with such travels, highlighting the severe risks involved for travellers.

“Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration wishes to caution the travelling public to be wary of the activities of middlemen/agents who purport to have the ability to secure citizenship, resident permits and job offers in conflict areas and countries at war as these journeys are perilous and often have dire consequences.

“In light of ongoing conflicts and the risk of conscription in certain countries or regions around the world, travellers are strongly advised to exercise caution and carefully consider their travel plans,” parts of the statement read.

Meanwhile, travellers have been urged to adopt precautionary measures and prioritise their safety and well-being, especially when considering job offers in regions that pose the threat of conscription and armed conflict.
