The Member of Parliament for Abirem, Charles Asuako Owiredu, has called for an organized continent-wide response to xenophobic attacks in South Africa. These attacks have recently impacted Ghanaian nationals living there.
Mr. Owiredu, who also served as Ghana's High Commissioner to South Africa, believes a joint African approach is necessary. He highlighted the urgency of the situation affecting Ghanaian citizens.
He stated that a unified strategy would be more effective than individual country actions. This approach aims to ensure the safety and security of all Africans across the continent.
The call for a coordinated response comes amid growing concerns about the safety of foreign nationals in South Africa. It seeks to create a framework for preventing such violence.
Mr. Owiredu's plea underscores the importance of regional solidarity. It aims to address a critical issue impacting human rights and cross-border relations.
