Ghana Rescues Over 300 West African Nationals in Anti-Trafficking Operation
The Ghana Immigration Service has rescued 305 West African nationals, including 113 children, in an anti-trafficking operation targeting street begging networks in Accra. The operation, conducted on Wednesday, focused on suspected rings exploiting foreign nationals linked to human trafficking. The rescued individuals include 36 boys, 77 girls, 66 women, and 126 men. Ghana has been identified as a source, transit, and destination country for human trafficking in West Africa, with the U.S. State Department noting the country's failure to meet minimum standards for eliminating trafficking.
