Ghana Agrees to Accept West African Deportees from US, Receives Nigerians and Gambian
Ghana has struck a deal with the United States to accept West African deportees, with 13 Nigerians and a Gambian already received. This agreement aligns with a regional pact allowing travel within West Africa without the need for visas.
The move comes as part of the US administration's efforts to curb immigration by deporting undocumented immigrants to third countries. Notably, this deportation agreement between the US and Ghana follows similar deals with other African nations like Rwanda and South Sudan.
The acceptance of deportees is seen as a strategy by the US government, particularly under President Donald Trump, to reduce the number of undocumented immigrants within its borders.
