In light of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the accompanying military activities, the Youth Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to prioritize evacuating Ghanaians, especially students caught up in the crossfire.
The party cautioned the government of the NPP to the stop lies game and devise proactive measures to evaluate the Ghanaians from Ukraine to save their lives from the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.
According to the party, the stories and videos coming out of Ukraine are cringing and we cannot afford to lose any Ghanaian in the skirmishes.
This, the NDC stated that follows similar actions taken by other countries who prioritize the lives of its citizens. The fact that the government has remained silent on this issue for nearly three (3) days is very telling.
"As a matter of urgency, we call on the government to put in place measures to relocate Ghanaian students to a safer zone in the region or bring them back home,' the party stressed.
In a press conference on Friday, February 25, 2022, addressed by the National Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress, George Opare Addo, the party noted that the ongoing standoff between Ukraine and Russia, and its attendant military actions must not be taken for granted more-so when Ghanaian lives are at stake.
He stated that the National Democratic Congress joins similar calls made by the National Union of Ghanaian Students (NUGS) and its sister body in Ukraine, urging the government to quickly evacuate students studying in the country.
He asserted that this is not a time for political indecisiveness and passiveness.
He stressed that the government must fully use its diplomatic contacts and resources to ensure our students are safe and kept away from harm’s way.
He further stressed that the government must announce a plan on its intention to execute this very critical assignment.
'While we urge the government to do all that is necessary to bring our countrymen home, we call on our Consulate in Ukraine to start mobilizing students and offering them shelter in the midst of ongoing developments,' he stated.
