Person in Parliament for North Tongu Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa provides described moves by Emirates to ban travels for some selected African countries because discriminatory. Emirates has prohibited travels to some selected Africa countries including Ghana, Angola, Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire and Ethiopia. This ban was necessitated by the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in those nations. But reacting to the prohibit, Okudzeto Ablakwa indicated that will it’s discriminatory considering the amount of case count in some Europe. To him, if Emirates is not placing a ban to people countries, it is worrying that the ban will be placed on several African countries that has lower numbers comparatively. Read Their Fill Statement BelowEmirates’ take a trip ban imposed on chosen African countries including Ghana, effective today 28th Dec, 2021 is by a distance the most discriminatory, offensive, mindless and retrogressive step. Ghana, Angola, Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire plus Ethiopia do not have an active situation count and hospitalization anyplace near that of France, UNITED KINGDOM, Italy, USA and Indian whose citizens are all permitted, rightly so if I may include, to still travel to plus transit through Dubai. Another nauseating irony is that day-to-day active cases in the UAE have now crossed 1, eight hundred, far higher than Ghana’s one, 264 new cases, yet UAE citizens can visit Ghana whereas Ghanaians are not able to travel to the UAE. We urge African Presidents as well as the African Union to instantly denounce this shameless discriminatory policy and to proceed by providing UAE authorities an ultimatum to reverse this backward ban, failing which I highly expect African countries in order to reciprocate in good calculate, and in addition withdraw en ton from the ongoing Dubai Expo which closes on 03 31, 2022. I should wish President Nana Akufo-Addo associated with Ghana would also within protest reconsider his programs to lead a Ghanaian delegation to the Dubai Expo on March 8, 2022. African nations cannot continue being soft targets in these darkish schemes that perpetuate high-level international racism. All nations should listen to the WHOM which has long warned that will travel bans do not function and that they are indeed detrimental. Global challenges demand worldwide solutions, not blinded discriminatory knee jerk reactions.
