Ghana has been urged by the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) to halt the expulsion of refugees from Burkina Faso.
It said it was concerned by reports that hundreds of Burkinabè citizens – mainly women and children – had been deported from Ghana after fleeing there to escape violence in their homeland.
The UNHCR said it was ready to provide more support to Ghana to address the needs of refugees.
More than two million people in Burkina Faso have been forced from their homes by an Islamist insurgency that is spread across several countries in Africa’s Sahel region.
