Ghana closer to terrorism threat than ever before – WACCE
The West Africa Centre for Counter-Extremism (WACCE) has warned that Ghana faces a growing terrorism threat as extremist violence spreads across the Sahel and closer to the country’s borders.
The Centre says Ghana’s geographical proximity to countries experiencing increasing extremist attacks, coupled with internal socioeconomic challenges, could make the country more vulnerable to violent extremism.
Mr Muqthar noted that terrorism was previously viewed largely as a distant threat from countries such as Mali, but the situation had changed significantly, particularly with the spread of extremist violence in Burkina Faso.
