Lawyer Kofi Bentil believes Ghana should rethink its involvement in United Nations peacekeeping work. He called recent attacks on Ghanaian soldiers very unfortunate during a TV3 interview. Bentil said we must seriously look at our part in these operations again.
Ghana has a long history of contributing soldiers to UN peacekeeping missions. These missions often involve dangerous areas around the world.
The lawyer did not specify which missions should be reviewed. He also did not detail the exact nature of the attacks on the soldiers.
Ghana's participation in peacekeeping is seen as a key part of its foreign policy. It also provides training and experience for the national army.
Bentil's comments come after specific incidents where Ghanaian troops faced danger. Further details on these incidents were not provided.
A review could impact Ghana's international relations and its standing within the UN.
The government has not yet officially responded to Bentil's suggestion.
Further discussions are expected on this matter of national security and foreign policy.
