A security analyst, Mr. Emmanuel Sowatey says in the wake of the terror attacks in Kenya this week, Ghana must take vigorous counter-terrorism measures as well as join the fight against terrorism in Africa. Mr. Sowatey said the country can no longer sit aloof in the face the increasing threats posed by terrorists on the continent. He was speaking on Joy FM’s Super morning Show Monday. A terrorist attack, claimed by Somalia's Al Shabab, at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya led to the death of close to 70 people, among them, Ghana’s former Chairman of the Council of State, Professor Kofi Awoonor who died of gunshot wounds. Mr. Sowatey said government must strengthen the country's security to ensure that what happened in Kenya does happen in Ghana. “We need the funding, political will and we also need to educate ordinary Ghanaians on what they can do to contribute to strengthening our security”. A Senior Fellow of the Center for International Affairs and Diplomacy (LECIAD) of the University of Ghana, Dr Vladimir Antwi Danso said the global approach for fighting terrorism has failed over the years. He suggested that the war on terrorism must have a multilateral approach rather than using the United Nations which is state-centric. Dr. Antwi Danso said Africa needs to move to an era where there are independent rapid response teams to help nations when any attack occurs.
