The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised members of the Tijjaniya Muslim Movement of Ghana embarking on pilgrimage to Senegal to exercise heightened caution in making their travel arrangements.
The Ghanaian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a warning to members of the Tijjaniya Muslim Movement traveling to Senegal for pilgrimage. In an advisory posted on August 21, the Ministry cautioned against potential security risks along specific road routes leading to Dakar, Senegal's capital. The Ministry emphasized that while Senegal as a country remains safe for travelers, there are concerns regarding the security of certain road corridors used by long-distance road travelers.
As a result, the Ministry urged pilgrims and prospective travelers to opt for air travel as the preferred method, considering it safer and more secure. Those who have already planned their road journeys were also advised to reevaluate their travel arrangements and choose air travel instead.
