Ghana Accepts West African Deportees Amid US Relations Strain
Ghana has accepted West African deportees from the US in line with ECOWAS protocols, with the first batch of 14 deportees, including Nigerians, already arriving. The move comes amid tensions over deportations, with Ghana hosting a significant Nigerian immigrant population.
