Charles Asuako Owiredu, the Member of Parliament for Abirem, has called for a stronger, unified response from African nations regarding xenophobic attacks. He previously served as Ghana's High Commissioner to South Africa.
Owiredu specifically highlighted that Ghanaian nationals have been victims of these attacks in South Africa.
He stressed the importance of a coordinated continental strategy to combat xenophobia. This approach aims to ensure the safety and protection of all Africans living across the continent.
The MP's statement follows recent incidents of violence targeting foreign nationals in South Africa.
He believes that a collective stance will send a clear message against such acts of hatred and discrimination.
Protecting citizens abroad is a key concern for the Abirem Member of Parliament.
Owiredu's call emphasizes the need for diplomatic and collective action to uphold human rights and security for all Africans.
