Michael Okyere Baafi, the Member of Parliament for New Juaben South, urged the government to act. He called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to address recent attacks.
These attacks involved Ghanaian tomato traders traveling to Burkina Faso. Some traders were killed during these incidents.
Mr. Okyere Baafi, who is the Ranking Member on Trade, stressed the need for urgent government intervention. He stated that the lack of attention to these incidents is concerning.
The international department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must engage with Burkina Faso. This engagement aims to protect Ghanaian citizens and prevent future attacks.
The specific details of the attacks and the number of casualties remain under investigation.
The government is expected to provide updates on its diplomatic efforts. This action aims to ensure the safety of Ghanaian traders. It also seeks to hold those responsible accountable.
