A number of foreign affairs ministers from other African nations have reached out to consult the Ghanaian government on the strategic blueprint used to execute its emergency airlift of citizens from South Africa, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has revealed.
The peer consultation comes on the back of Ghana's highly successful and proactive humanitarian intervention, which has seen hundreds of its citizens rescued from the centre of raging anti-immigrant hostilities and xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
Mr Ablakwa disclosed on Saturday night, June 6, 2026, while personally interacting with the second batch of 345 Ghanaian evacuees immediately after their rescue flight touched down safely at the Accra International Airport.

Addressing the visibly relieved but heavily traumatised returnees, Mr Ablakwa emphasised that the state placed a premium value on the lives of its diaspora community. He noted that while other sovereign nations were still evaluating their options, Ghana deployed resources to evacuate its people from danger immediately.
