Ghana is calling on the Commonwealth of Nations to officially condemn an attack on its soldiers. These soldiers are part of the United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon.
The attack occurred last Friday. It happened at the Ghana Battalion headquarters, known as Camp Obeng. This camp is located in southern Lebanon.
Three Ghanaian soldiers were seriously injured during the incident. They are currently receiving care.
The attack happened during an exchange of fire. This exchange involved the Israeli forces and others in the area.
Ghana's government wants the Commonwealth to clearly state that this attack is unacceptable. The call emphasizes the need for international solidarity with peacekeepers.
Peacekeepers work to maintain stability in conflict zones around the world. Ghana has a long history of contributing troops to UN missions.
The government believes that condemning such attacks is important for the safety of all peacekeepers. It also highlights the risks involved in peacekeeping operations.
The full details of the exchange of fire are still being investigated by the United Nations.
