A group of Liberians, including 35 women, five children and 17 men have been stranded at the Cantonments Police Station in Accra, Ghana, the country’s Daily Graphic newspaper has reported. The online new website said after efforts to get the Liberians to return to their base failed, the UNHCR called the police and they were sent to the Cantonments Police Station last Thursday. However, a source from Liberia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs who asked not to be named told the Daily Observer via mobile phone that the ministry is unaware of Liberians in Ghana encountering such difficulties. But we will do a follow-up to take the necessary action to get our compatriots home,” the source said. He said they had been given three options, comprising voluntary repatriation to Liberia, local integration in Ghana or resettlement in a third country.
