President expresses condolences
Meanwhile, the President, Mr John Dramani Mahama, has condemned the terrorist attacks in Paris and expressed his condolences to President Francois Hollande and the people of France.
In a statement issued in Accra last Sunday and copied to the French Embassy in Accra, President Mahama described as horrific the attack on innocent civilians in Paris, which had now claimed over 120 lives.
“On behalf of the people of Ghana, I send to the families of the victims of these despicable attacks our condolences. May those who survived be comforted and healed. Ghana stands by a grieving France in this time of difficulty.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration is working with the Ghana Embassy in Paris to update the government on further developments and also work with the French authorities to ensure the safety of Ghanaians in France,” it added.
Death toll
About 127 people were last Friday confirmed to have died after gun attacks near the Stade de France, in the Bataclan Theatre and restaurants and bars in Paris.
There were two suicide attacks and a bombing near the Stade de France, shootings at restaurants and a massacre inside the Bataclan Theatre where US rock band, Eagles of Death Metal, was playing last Friday.
Seven suicide bombers died in the attack, but the police believe at least one attacker was still on the run.
President Hollande called the attacks, which are the worst violence to hit France since the Second World War, “an act of war.”
The ISIS have claimed responsibility.
