Kofi Marfo, popularly known as Pimapima, is a Ghanaian currently living in Tel Aviv, Israel. Speaking from his experience, he expressed the deep fear and frustration many Ghanaians are facing as the conflict in the region escalates.
“But for the first time in my life, I saw missiles strike. Buildings are collapsing, fires are everywhere, and our lights have been destroyed.”
According to him, life in Tel Aviv has come to a standstill. Many companies, including bread factories where several Ghanaians work, have shut down.
“I’ve been stuck at home for three weeks now. It’s hard. Ghanaians back home should pray for us.”
He criticized the Ghanaian government and embassy in Israel for neglecting their citizens.
“We don’t even know what the government plans to do. The Ghana Embassy here is silent. They’re hiding. When the sirens go off, even the Israeli president runs for cover. Yet our embassy is nowhere to be found.”
He added,
“We live in fear every day. We barely sleep. Anytime the alarm sounds, we run to bomb shelters. But despite all this, I would rather die here than return to Ghana. At least here, there’s hope—even in danger.”
Kofi’s plea echoes a growing concern among many stranded Ghanaians in conflict zones who feel abandoned by their homeland in their time of need.
