The Ghana First Alliance has formally notified the Ghana Police Service of its intention to organize a peaceful public demonstration in Accra on June 11, 2026, in response to recent xenophobic attacks against Ghanaians living in South Africa.

In a notice submitted to the Greater Accra Regional Police Headquarters under the Public Order Act, 1994 (Act 491), the group said the protest has been prompted by reports of attacks targeting Ghanaian nationals in South Africa, which it claims led to the emergency evacuation of about 300 Ghanaians back to Ghana.

According to the Alliance, the demonstration is intended to express solidarity with affected victims and send a strong message to the South African government regarding the protection of African lives and livelihoods.

The organizers have scheduled the one-day event to begin at Independence Square, where participants are expected to assemble at 8:00 a.m. The procession is set to commence at 10:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m., with a maximum of 50 participants anticipated.

As part of the demonstration, organizers plan to present petitions to several state institutions. The procession will move from Independence Square to the Ministry of Justice and Attorney-General and the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, where the first petition will be submitted.

The group will then proceed through Ridge Roundabout, Liberation Road, Arko Adjei Interchange and the 37 Military Hospital stretch to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration to present a second petition.

The final stage of the demonstration will take participants through Kawukudi Road and Kanda to Jubilee House, where a final petition will be presented to the Office of the President before the event officially concludes.

The Ghana First Alliance emphasized that the protest will be peaceful and pledged to work closely with the Ghana Police Service to ensure public safety, maintain law and order, and minimize disruptions throughout the exercise.

The group has requested police assistance for security, traffic control and crowd management during the demonstration.

Lead Convener Nana Otu Darko, who signed the notice on behalf of the organizing committee, will be joined by several co-conveners, including Omaro Shakur, Ralph St Williams, Yaa Titi, Isaac Anane M.K Gracious, Ransford Boakye, Oheneba Boamah Bennie, Peter Addai and Alaska De Don.

The organizers say they remain available to engage the police on operational arrangements ahead of the demonstration to ensure a smooth and orderly event.
