The Argentines are going to fly their sailors home ... on an Air France plane. The reason is obvious: they are nervous that Ghanaian courts would just seize any Argentine aircraft!
It looks like the Ghanaian port authorities are going to move the Libertad. It’s clogging up a needed berth, costing the port $3,667 per day. To be fair, that is a lot less than the $50,000 that the Libertad is currently paying in docking fees ... well, that Argentina is ratcheting up in fees. I suspect that Argentina isn’t actually paying them. After all, it has stated that it is going to claim those fees in damages in the suit it plans to file against Ghana at the U.N. Law of the Sea Tribunal in Hamburg.
Speaking of the U.N., nobody should be surprised that the Security Council is not treating this as a threat to world peace. So much for hyperventilating about an Argentine strike on Ghana ...
P.S. No, nobody in Argentina is seriously discussing war with Ghana!
