Yes he can pledge to secure the players and official.

What about the Ghanaian fans? The record of fan deaths during even Egyptian soccer derbies is one of the highest in Africa. What do you think will happen in a WC qualifier then?

There is no reason not to believe that the game was scheduled for Cairo to add a bit of intimidation (because of the violence that more than often takes place after an Egyptian team loses in soccer game).

This is a complete shame, the Egyptian MOI should also guarantee that fans will be secure on both sides. NOT just the "Ghana Team"!

Oh I forget, they can't! Why? They can't control any demonstrations on the streets of Cairo, so many die wantonly everytime they have gatherings. This is known by everyone worldwide.

I bet you they will go rampant on the streets of Cairo after they LOSE to the Stars, mark my word!

The Egyptian MOI knows this, yet they are being childish and putting lives in danger because of a soccer game? What a shame, I had more respect for our Egyptian cousins than this.

For now, it is really up to the Ghana Embassy, MOI, Ghana govt to start making fervent preparations on travel advisories on where fans should plan on staying (hotels), what to do and not do while in Cairo, etc.

Over to you Mr. President of Ghana, take this seriously and get your people working on this so we don't lose any Ghanaian lives unnecessarily (both our players & fans). Jah Bless Ghana!

What assurance? He just can't guarantee that because hard evidence points to the opposite. Oh Ghana, if only Kwasi Nyantakyi would stop kissing KPB's ass and concentrate on the security of our players and fans!!!

It would be the calm before the storm, Cairo is not secured and so we can't risk coming to an environment with security concerns hunting us and negatively affecting the concentration of our players.

I think I have a proposal here, let's beat Egypt 5:0 in our backyard, and forfeit the return match. I don't think our players and fans should go to Egypt, it's too dangerous

ASSURANCE FROM AN ARAB MINISTER INDEED! HOW CAN THE ENTIRE WORLD SEE THE VIOLENCE THAT IS GOING ON IN EGYPT, BUT EXPECT THIS CRUCIAL GAME TO BE PLAYED IN CAIRO? PRESENTLY SENEGAL IS PLAYING AWAY FROM HOME DUE TO THE SAME SECURITY REASONS, SO WHY NOT EGYPT? IF THE GFA BELIEVES THAT GHANA WILL WIN THE 2 ENCOUNTERS THEN IT SHOULD INSIST ON THEIR PROTEST. OTHERWISE, THERE WILL BE MAYHEM THE MOMENT EGYPT LOSES IN CAIRO, SIMPLE.

THE ONLY GOOD SIDE FOR THEM IS TO WIN AND THEN THEY WILL JUBILATE. BU LET US NOT FORGET THE PRESENCE OF AL QAIDA, AL SHABAAB,HAMAS, HESBOLA, ALL THERE TO SUPPORT THE MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD TO CAUSE VIOLENCE ON THAT FATEFUL NOVEMBER 19. A WORD TO THE WISE SHOULD BE ENOUGH BY NOW.
