The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has partnered with the French Military to conduct intensive jungle warfare training aimed at combating armed illegal miners in the country. According to CTV News, the training is part of efforts to strengthen the GAF’s capacity to tackle the growing threat of illegal mining, which has ravaged Ghana’s natural resources.
The training, which is being conducted in the jungles of Ghana, involves troops from the GAF and the French Military. The exercise is focused on enhancing the skills of Ghanaian troops in jungle warfare tactics, including ambush techniques, reconnaissance, and counter-insurgency operations.
According to a GAF official, the training is timely, given the increasing threat of armed illegal miners in the country. The official noted that the GAF is committed to working with international partners to combat the menace and protect Ghana’s natural resources.
The collaboration with the French Military is part of Ghana’s efforts to strengthen its military capabilities and address the growing security challenges in the region. The training is expected to enhance the GAF’s ability to operate in jungle environments and tackle armed groups.
Ghana has been grappling with the problem of illegal mining, which has led to environmental degradation and loss of revenue. The government has vowed to crack down on the practice, and the GAF’s training is seen as a key part of this effort.
The success of the training is expected to boost Ghana’s security and contribute to the country’s economic development.
