The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) has called upon Ghana to cease the expulsion of refugees from Burkina Faso.
Expressing concern over reports of hundreds of Burkinabè citizens, particularly women and children, being deported from Ghana after seeking refuge from violence in their own country, the UNHCR emphasized the importance of halting such actions.

The UNHCR has also expressed its readiness to offer additional support to Ghana in addressing the needs of the refugees.
The ongoing Islamist insurgency in Burkina Faso, which extends across multiple countries in Africa’s Sahel region, has resulted in over two million people being displaced from their homes.
