More than 400 Ghanaians currently residing in Dubai are calling on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration to urgently evacuate them as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate.
The distressed citizens made their plea during a live broadcast on SVTV Africa, hosted by DJ Nyaami and Ohemaa Candace, as part of the “Iran War Countdown” discussion, specifically on Day 28 of the ongoing conflict.
According to the group, fear has gripped the Ghanaian community as they reportedly witness increasing military activity, including airstrikes, drone movements, and missile alerts across parts of the region. Many say they are living in constant panic, unsure of their safety and what could happen next.
“We are scared for our lives. The situation is getting worse, and we don’t feel safe anymore,” one caller said during the live program.
The affected individuals are urgently appealing to the Government of Ghana to act swiftly by initiating evacuation procedures before the situation deteriorates further. They stressed that many of them lack the resources to relocate on their own and are relying on government intervention for their safety.
Some of the Ghanaians also expressed frustration over what they describe as a lack of clear communication and support, despite the growing risks associated with the escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Security analysts have warned that the ongoing conflict involving Iran and its regional dynamics could have wider implications, increasing uncertainty across neighboring areas and raising fears among foreign nationals.
The stranded Ghanaians are therefore urging the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration to prioritize their situation and provide immediate assistance, including evacuation or safety assurances.
As the situation continues to unfold, families back home in Ghana are also growing increasingly anxious, hoping for swift government intervention to bring their loved ones back safely.
The Ghanaian community in Dubai is making a passionate appeal — time is critical, and lives may depend on swift action.
