Ghana has called on stakeholders in the West African sub-region to “step up collective efforts” to end violent extremism, condemning the recent coordinated terror attacks in Mali that resulted in the death of Mali’s Defence Minister, General Sadio Camara.
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, Camara was killed alongside his second wife and two grandchildren after the Tuareg rebels and the al-Qaeda affiliate, Jama’t Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) carried out a suicide car bomb that targeted his home at the Kati military base.
In a statement dated Monday, April 26, 2026, the Government of Ghana – through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs – extended its “condolences to the Government and people of Mali at this tragic turn of events and wishes the injured speedy recovery.”
According to the government of Ghana, “violent extremism must have no place in our world, and we must step up collective efforts to end this horror.”
