Good day.
Ghana’s recent condemnation of the United States’ military action in Venezuela is not an act of provocation, nor is it an attempt to take sides in global power politics. It is, rather, a statement of principle, one that deserves careful attention.
At the heart of Ghana’s position is a simple but powerful idea: no nation, regardless of its power, has the right to unilaterally invade another sovereign state. The abduction of a sitting president, outside international legal frameworks, raises serious questions about the future of global order.
History has taught countries like Ghana painful lessons. Colonialism did not begin with tanks and fighter jets alone; it began with claims of “order,” “transition,” and “civilisation.” When Ghana hears a powerful nation suggest it will “run” another country and invite its corporations to take control of strategic resources, alarm bells are bound to ring.
This is not about defending Nicolás Maduro as a political figure. It is about defending international law, state sovereignty, and the right of people to determine their own political future without external force.
If the world normalises such actions today, then tomorrow any country, especially smaller or resource-rich ones, could become a target under the guise of security, democracy, or economic reform.

| Ghana Condemned US Venezuela Invasion |
Ghana’s voice matters because it speaks from experience. It speaks as a nation that has known foreign control and has consciously chosen diplomacy, non-alignment, and peaceful coexistence. By calling for de-escalation and the release of President Maduro, Ghana is advocating not chaos, but dialogue.
In a world increasingly driven by power rather than principle, Ghana’s stance is a reminder that might does not make right. Silence in moments like this would be complicity. Speaking up is not interference, it is responsibility.
This is not just Venezuela’s issue. It is a test of whether international law still means anything at all.
Thank you
