Thousands of stranded Ghanaians in Libya say they are prepared to fund the cost of transporting them back home, if government is finding difficulties in raising funds.
These desperate Ghanaians say their lives might soon end if government does not accelerate the process in evacuating them.
Speaking to Adom News, the Ghanaians say they have tried all means to come home but to no avail as there seem to be no life line for them.
These calls come barely 48 hours after some 55 Ghanaians were successfully evacuated from Libya by a Turkish company.
The Ghanaians say they might die out of hunger or might be killed as black Africans have now become endangered species in that country.
“Please tell the government to come for us even if it means paying for the fare. Currently we have no food nor water to drink, we are currently lodging under stones as we cannot stay at home because blacks are now been killed" a stranded Ghanaian frantically said when he called the Adom Newsroom on Monday.
Meanwhile the Deputy Minister of Information Mohammed Baba Jamal says government will do its best to evacuate its citizens back home.
Mr. Jamal announced the following emergency lines for Ghanaian nationals to call for assistance.
0299-005097 and 0299-005101.
However, some stranded Ghanaians in Libya who have been calling these emergency call centres set up to offer assistance say the numbers do not go through.
They said even if the calls go through; the officers in charge were not receptive.
A follow-up call by Adom News proved that some officers at the centres have been hostile to their callers.
One of the officers was caught on tape saying “ you people are worrying too much , don’t call this line again I am also human and I have been working since last night”.
There are an estimated 10,000 Ghanaian nationals in Libya and government is hoping to evacuate as many as possible in the coming days.
