The Government of Ghana has advised Ghanaians who trade in Mali to suspend any planned trips to the country.
Expressing solidarity with the Government of Mali in a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration said it would provide updates to facilitate the resumption of trading activities in due course.
According to the Ministry, close collaboration with relevant Malian authorities is ongoing.
It further directed Ghanaians living in Mali to exercise caution and limit non-essential movement.
“We urge you all to maintain regular contact with the Embassy of Ghana in Bamako,” the statement said, assuring Ghanaian nationals that their security, safety, and well-being remain paramount.
This follows terrorist attacks carried out on Saturday, April 25, 2026, on several military positions in Mali, including in the capital, Bamako.
The attacks resulted in the deaths of the Minister of Defence, General Sadio Camara, as well as some military personnel and civilians.
“The Government of Ghana extends its condolences to the Government and People of Mali at this tragic turn of events and wishes the injured a speedy recovery. Violent extremism must have no place in our world, and we must step up collective efforts to end this horror,” the Ministry said.
