Ghana Confirms Withdrawal of Recognition for the SADR
In a significant diplomatic move, Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reaffirmed its stance regarding the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), emphasizing that its decision to withdraw recognition of this self-proclaimed entity remains firmly in place. This declaration comes amidst reports suggesting a potential shift in Ghana's foreign policy, particularly after a meeting involving Ghana's Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and a representative of the SADR, mischaracterized as an ambassador by certain media outlets. The Ghanaian Foreign Ministry swiftly clarified that the meeting did not constitute a reversal of its earlier position, which was decisively established on January 6, 2025.
Support for UN-Led Political Process
The Ghanaian government underscored its ongoing support for the United Nations-led political process concerning the Sahara. It welcomed the recent adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2797, which reaffirms commitment to the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy in facilitating negotiations based on Morocco's autonomy proposal. This resolution aims to achieve a fair and lasting political solution acceptable to all parties involved, conforming to the principles outlined in the UN Charter. The Ghanaian Foreign Ministry has made it clear that its support for Morocco's autonomy plan is steadfast, reinforcing its diplomatic relations and strategic alliances in the region.
