Twitter Inc. agreed to engage with fired staff from its only African office after they were offered poorer-than-announced severance packages.

Affected employees in the Ghanaian capital, Accra, have secured talks with Twitter after a letter sent requesting that the company comply with local employment law, according to a lawyer representing the staff. Around 20 people worked in the West African country’s office.
