Hello All:
This is another outcome of the COVID19 plandemic: Several African American citizens who were visiting Africa have been stranded as a result of quarantine, and shut downs, and have no way of returning home. They have been trying to get assistance from the American embassies, but are finding little to no help whatsoever. This is indeed tragic. Please sign the petition. They are in very compromised situations. I'm sure when they went there - whether for business or pleasure, they did not anticipate being stranded and penniless there.
STAY BLESSED

To whom it may concern,
Petition for U.S. Citizens, Ghanaian Americans and "Legal Permanent Residents" to be helped with evacuation back to the United States:
There are numerous (potentially in the thousands) US Citizens and Legal Permanent Residents marooned here in Ghana. Many of us planned and prepared for short stays for a few weeks and swift departure back to the United States.
To
Most of us marooned here in Ghana have no income to speak of and are dealing with the financial pressures of life here as well as in the United States. Many are facing evictions from their apartments and foreclosures on their homes back in the United States. Some are facing being let go from their jobs. It is impossible for us to get most financial benefits such as Unemployment from the U.S. because of current laws governing such programs and restrict you from participating because you are in a foreign locale. All of us stranded here have financial obligations in both countries, a few of us are on the verge of being homeless as of now at home and abroad. We can not afford further hotel fees and barely have enough money for our dietary needs. There is also an air of being exploited financially through scams and other unsavory happenings because of our situation. A few of us have experienced this.
There are also those that have drained their finances and bank accounts paying bills in the states and financing themselves here in Ghana that do not have the requisite funds to even purchase a ticket to get back to the United States. We need a solution for these Americans as well.
Many of us are parents of young children and took short trips for business or leisure and have been caught in the international Covid-19 Pandemic border closures. Nonetheless we need to get back to our children.
Then there are the elderly and the infirmed that have not had medical care and prescriptions refilled for months. Along with this there are others that need medical procedures that are not available here in Ghana.
We are all exhausted and at our ends with dealing with this crisis. This does not mean that we are beaten nor are not willing to stand up for ourselves and our rights that are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and international law. We all stand on our God given rights as human beings.
Just recently (July 17th, 2020) a group of 50 Citizens and Legal Permanent Residents risked a trip via road from Ghana to Lomé, Togo. Our group successfully petitioned the Ghana Foreign Ministry and the Togo Embassy in Ghana for entry into Togo to leave on a flight leaving from Togo’s capital Lomé to Newark-Liberty International (July 17th, 2020). We won the permit for travel for those that were desperate to leave for the many reasons mentioned previously. It is not the responsibility of the Ghana government nor the Togolese government to make a way back to the United States for Americans, they have a responsibility to their sovereigns just as the U.S. governments has to their sovereigns. We are thankful and grateful for their assistance but no American should have to risk having to cross a dangerous & contentious border by road especially during this time of the “Corona Virus Pandemic” nor should they have to potentially travel on a 15-20 hour road trip that is very dangerous just to get a flight back to the United States.
This is unacceptable by any standard. The State Department and Consular Affairs guarantee American’s safety abroad. We feel that this situation is putting many of us in harm’s way as people’s desperation grows and options to get back to the United Statesbecome more stringent.
We are demanding the United States State Departm
We are simply demanding that the State Department, U.S. Embassy in Ghana and U.S. Consular Affairs live up to and carry out their mission of “Safety. Security. Service. Our highest priority is to protect the lives and interests of U.S. citizens overseas. We do this through routine and emergency services to Americans at our embassies and consulates around the world. We serve our fellow citizens during their most important moments – births, deaths, disasters, arrests, and medical emergencies. The Bureau of Consular Affairs formulates and implements policy relating to immigration and consular services and ensures responsive and efficient provision of consular services overseas.” Note, that the most pertinent section “Our highest priority is to protect the lives and interests of U.S. citizens overseas” is not being carried out currently in regards to our situation at the moment.
We the marooned U.S. Citizens, Legal Permanent Residents and loved ones believe that our situation is an emergency one and needs to be handled expeditiously and with care! We also know with confidence that The U.S. State Department and the U.S. Embassy in Ghana have the logistical know how and will to carry out this mission.
Yours patriotically,
