MFA cautions against unnecessary travels

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has sounded a warning to Ghanaians who intend to travel to conflict-prone countries.

This comes after some Ghanaians in a video circulating on social media alleged that they have been recruited into the Russian Army.

The said Ghanaians were heard saying that there are some travel agents in Ghana, who could help people to get into the Russian Army.

As a result, the Foreign Affairs Ministry has cautioned the public to be wary of travel agents, who claim to have the ability to secure them citizenship as well as job offers in war torn countries.

In statement dated March 25, 2024, the ministry advised travelers to be cautious and prioritize their safety.

“Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration wishes to caution the travelling public to be wary of the activities of middlemen/agents who purport to have the ability to secure citizenship, resident permits and job offers in conflict areas and countries at war as these journeys are perilous and often have dire consequences.

“In light of ongoing conflicts and the risk of conscription in certain countries or regions around the world, travellers are strongly advised to exercise caution and carefully consider their travel plans.”
