Gaddafi\u2019s air defense and military strongholds in Tripoli. A deputy information minister, Baba Jamal told Citi News, current developments in Libya are making it difficult to fly stranded Ghanaians back home.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cthis means that we can\u2019t fly directly from Libya, so we have to be flying from Cairo and Tunisia mainly and other places\u201d. He said government is exploring other alternatives to air transport to ensure that all Ghanaians are repatriated.<\/p>\n<p>Over 16,000 Ghanaians have been evacuated so far, exceeding the original estimate of 10,000. \u201cWe can confidently say that majority of our people are out of that place,\u201d Baba Jamal added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, government says its mission in Libya is safe for now and has no immediate plans to order its evacuation. As the US, UK and France continue to bomb Col. Gaddafi\u2019s military defences in Tripoli, there are growing concerns over the safety of various foreign missions in Libya.<\/p>\n<p>No country has so far announced the closure of its mission in Libya. Deputy Information Minister Baba Jamal told Citi News, \u201caccording to international standards, the mission would be the last to evacuate if it becomes necessary, so they are still there doing their best to organize the people and assist us to mobilize the people to bring them home\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/201ed65bget.media_1065-150x90.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read the original here:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Government says it is suspending the evacuation of its nationals in Libya by air, following the enforcement of the UN\u2019s no fly zone resolution over Libya.
