Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo on Thursday called for a "global coalition of democracies" to fight violent extremist groups in West Africa that have been spreading south from the Sahel toward Ghana and its neighbours.
"The menace caused by terrorism is such that we must share the burden of the fight," said Afuko-Addo, in a Washington speech in which he contrasted Western aid for Ukraine with that given to West African democracies.
