The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has issued a cautionary advisory to the public regarding the activities of middlemen or agents who claim to offer services such as securing citizenship, resident permits, and job opportunities in conflict zones and countries experiencing warfare.
Highlighting the perilous nature of such journeys, the Ministry emphasized that engaging in such activities can have severe consequences. The advisory, issued on March 25, serves to alert travelers to the potential risks associated with these endeavors.
“In light of ongoing conflicts and the risk of conscription in certain countries or regions around the world, travelers are strongly advised to exercise caution and carefully assess their travel plans,” the Ministry stated.
Furthermore, the advisory urged travelers to prioritize their safety and well-being, particularly when considering job opportunities in regions with heightened risks of conscription and armed conflict.
“By staying informed, exercising caution, and taking proactive measures, individuals can reduce the likelihood of being conscripted into military service while traveling in conflict areas,” the Ministry advised.
The Ministry reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety and welfare of Ghanaian travelers and reassured the public of its dedication to this cause.
