Stranded Ghanaians, blogger Felix Adomako Mensah, popularly known as ZionFelix, has disclosed he is living in fear as things are escalating within the Middle East.
According to ZionFelix, stranded Ghanaians have not received any communication from local authorities or the Ghanaian government regarding evacuation plans.
Speaking on the Point of View on Monday, March 2, Felix Adomako Mensah, popularly known as ZionFelix, stated, “I have not got any brief from any local authority. No government official has reached out to us in the hotel. It’s the Emirates staff that we mostly deal with; they contacted us and recorded our details. They told us they don’t know when we will be flying”.
“We want to leave, so we are calling on the government to come to our aid and evacuate us to Ghana. We’re ever ready to leave. Inasmuch as we are safe, because they are trying to solve the issue. I’m still living in fear concerning how things are escalating within the region,” he said.
In related news, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Foreign Affairs Minister, has announced that all Ghanaian embassy staff from Iran have been successfully evacuated following the security concerns.
In a post on X on Monday, March 2, 2026, Mr Ablakwa disclosed, “I am delighted to announce that we have conducted a successful evacuation of all our embassy staff in Iran.
The Ghanaian diplomats are safe and in high spirits.
Ghana’s embassy in Iran is now closed sine die.
The safety, welfare and protection of Ghanaians remains our utmost priority in these tempestuous times.
For God and Country”.
Ghana’s decision follows the United States and Israel, which on February 28, 2026, launched coordinated military strikes against Iran.
The joint operation targeted Iranian military infrastructure, leadership compounds, and strategic sites.
Iran has reportedly launched retaliatory attacks on multiple American bases, including a Naval Base in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi.
All scheduled flights to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have also reportedly been cancelled as the Gulf countries have closed their airspace in light of the attacks.
The BBC in a news report stated, “Explosions have been heard in cities across Iran, according to Iranian media.
The Fars news agency reports that explosions were heard in the cities of Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and Kermanshah.
The news agency has also reported that several missiles hit University Street and the Republic area of the Iranian capital Tehran.
Explosions were heard in two locations in Tehran, the Islamic Republic News Agency also reports. It says that smoke can be seen in the centre of the city”.
