Produktbeschreibung
Ghana's attitude towards refugees was influenced by the lead role played by Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah in the African liberation struggle from her independence in 1957. Nkrumah linked Ghana's independence to the total liberation of the African continent. For that reason Ghana attracted African liberation fighters from various countries under colonial rule who were assisted by the Nkrumah government to go back and fight to liberate their countries from colonial rule. Nkrumah began an open door policy towards refugees and the policy has since been largely followed by succeeding Ghanaian governments. In looking at refugees in Ghana, the research examined the presence of refugees from Southern Africa, namely Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa.
