In his address, Maj Gen Richard Addo Gyane, Commandant of the KAIPKTC who spoke on behalf of the training center highlighted that the surge in terrorism activities in the Sahel region is largely driven by violent extremism. As a result, it is essential to train security stakeholders across the region to effectively counter this threat.
