The Republic of Ghana has officially suspended diplomatic relations with the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), according to an official statement from the Kingdom of Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This decision was communicated through a formal document from Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration to its Moroccan counterpart.
Ghana has expressed its support for Morocco’s efforts to resolve the Moroccan Sahara issue, describing them as “good-faith efforts.”
The country initially recognized the SADR in 1979 but has now joined 46 other countries, including 13 African nations, that have severed or suspended relations with the SADR since 2000.
The Ghanaian government confirmed it would notify the African Union, the United Nations, and the Kingdom of Morocco of its decision through diplomatic channels.
This move reflects the broader diplomatic momentum gained by Morocco under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, who has championed the Moroccan Sahara cause on the international stage.
