The Ministry of National Security has strongly refuted a recent report by Reuters alleging that Islamist militants are using northern Ghana as a logistical and medical base for insurgent activities.
In a statement released on Friday, October 25, the Ministry criticized the Reuters article, labelling it as inaccurate and based on unfounded claims.
According to Reuters, Ghanaian authorities have allegedly ignored insurgents crossing from Burkina Faso to access food, fuel, explosives, and medical treatment.
The Ministry denounced this portrayal, stating that Reuters' report relied heavily on a discredited publication by the Netherlands Institute of International Relations (Clingendael).
