The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has dismissed reports about the deployment of special forces from the United Kingdom (UK) to Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry says the Government of Ghana has had no interactions with the UK Government aimed at deploying UK soldiers to Ghana for purposes of operations as purported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes on the back of viral reports headlined British soldiers expected in Ghana after withdrawal from Mali.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story, according to the Ministry, alleged that the British Government had taken a decision to send 300 special forces units to Ghana to support the Accra Initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a statement from the Ministry has explained the Accra Initiative (AI) was a cooperative and collaborative security mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was launched in 2017 under the leadership of President Nana Akufo-Addo with his colleagues from Benin, Burkina Faso, the Ivory Coast and Togo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe current members of the Initiative are Ghana, Benin, Burkina Faso, the Ivory Coast, Togo, Mali and Niger and aims to prevent a spillover of terrorism from the Sahel and to address transnational organized crime within the common border areas of member states,\u201d the statement explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement said the initiative was to further exchange intelligence, build capacity and undertake military action against terrorist forces in the Sahel that threaten coastal west Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry added the presence of the UK Minister for the Armed Forces in Accra, was to participate in the Accra Initiative Conference on 21st and 22nd of November 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Government of Ghana wishes to state that the information regarding British special forces is false.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
