Seventy refugees from Ghana have said their farewells to the country as they embark on a journey to the United States of America (USA).
Media personality and Date Rush host, Giovani Caleb, shared this news, revealing that the refugees’ status changed after careful consideration of their individual cases for resettlement.
The examination process adhered to established eligibility criteria.
Caleb explained that the comprehensive process involved submitting the identified cases to U.S. authorities for further screening and processing.
This meticulous approach aimed to ensure that each individual met the necessary requirements for successful resettlement in the United States.
“70 refugees from Ghana ???????? last night departed to begin a new life in the USA. This brings an end to their status as refugees. After identifying their cases based on established eligibility criteria, the cases were submitted to the US for further screening and processing.
“Resettlement is one of the 3 durable solutions next to voluntary repatriation and local integration,” he said in a Twitter post on November 30, 2023.
For many years, Ghana has served as a refuge for numerous refugees.
Which group of refugees comprise this team that recently departed Ghana for the United States is unclear, though.
