Foreign Ministry Debunks Fake Notice Claiming Ghanaians Asked to Leave Cambodia

Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dismissed as fake a notice circulating online claiming that Ghanaians have been ordered to leave Cambodia.

Cambodian authorities have confirmed to the Ministry that no such directive has been issued. The Cambodian Ministry of Interior also released a press clarification today stating that the purported notice is “completely untrue.”

The Foreign Ministry said that before the fake notice appeared, several Ghanaians in Cambodia had already contacted officials requesting evacuation assistance. The Ministry, together with Ghana’s High Commission in Malaysia, is currently supporting those requests.

Between March and May this year, 85 Ghanaians were evacuated from Cambodia. The Ministry added that 76 more are being evacuated to complete the exercise.

“The welfare of Ghanaians anywhere in the world remains our priority,” the Ministry said.
