The Ghanaian government has accepted to provide residence to
some discharged prisoners of the Guantanamo Bay prison establishment.
The decision, according to a statement signed in the capital, Accra
by Ghana’s foreign affairs minister Hanna Tetteh , is being taken at the
request of the US government.
Both from Yemen, Mahmud Umar Muhammad bin Atef, 36, and Khalid
Muhammad Salih al-Dhuby, 38, will settle in Ghana for two years,
Tetteh’s statement said.
Similarly, the West African country’s government has also agreed to
provide shelter to some displaced persons from Rwanda, Yemen and Syria,
all being requests made from international partners.
"We have decided to respond to the request of the tribunal and have
indicated our readiness to take two of such persons and give them
residence in Ghana."
