In a high-level meeting in Accra with Mali’s Prime Minister, General Abdoulaye Maiga, both leaders discussed strategies to enhance security cooperation and tackle the growing instability affecting the West African region.

President Mahama emphasized the need for united efforts to confront the shared threat of terrorism, which has led to widespread violence and instability across the Sahel region.
