On Tuesday, 28th March 2023, President Akufo-Addo delivered a statement at a meeting of the UN Security Security Council, on the terrorist threat in West Africa.
He indicated, amongst others, that the international order is under threat as a result of the destabilising actions being carried out by terrorist groups all over the world.
He added the unsettling uncertainty of where the next attack would come, the number of lives to be disrupted, lost or displaced, the annexing of national territories, and the wrecking of economies, are repercussions of this fight, except that this war has no fixed boundaries, neither does it have an end date.
“Over the course of the past few years, there have been a number of initiatives and advancement at the global and regional levels to combat terrorism and violent extremism. We have proven, through our combined efforts, that we are able to co-operate with one another in order to enhance our capacity to combat the threat posed by terrorism in all of its guises and manifestations, and as a serious crime that has no justification, regardless of its motivation or origin President Akufo-Addo stated.
