A Security Analyst, Dr. Siddiq Edu-Twum, says Ghana needs to use diplomatic means to negotiate for more onions from Niger to augment the shortage in the country.
He said a continuation of the ECOWAS and the Military Junta of Niger, if not stopped for dialogue, will continue to lead to food insecurity within the sub-region, especially with regard to onions.
More than 70 tracks of onions have been locked at the borders of Niger due to the closure of the borders.
Speaking on GBC’s Market Avenue, Dr. Adu Twum called on ECOWAS to use dialogue to resolve the issue.
Dr. Edu-Twum questioned the cost-benefit analysis of the resources to be used by ECOWAS to deploy troops into Niger.
