Ghana accuses neighbouring Burkina Faso of inviting mercenaries from Russian firm Wagner to fight militants in the West African country in exchange for a mine
"To have them operating on our northern border is particularly distressing for us in Ghana," President Nana Akufo-Addo says during his visit to Washington for US-Africa summit.
"Burkina Faso has now entered into an arrangement to go along with Mali in employing the Wagner forces there," Akufo-Addo said on Wednesday in remarks that Burkina Faso had not responded to by Thursday. Blinken, asked about the accusations by Ghana on Burkina Faso, repeated the strong US objections to the Wagner Group.
Several countries accuse Mali's ruling junta of using the services of Wagner, which is reputedly close to the Moscow, which Bamako denies.
