The Director of the National Counter Terrorism Fusion Centre, Major General Dr Timothy Tifucro Ba-Taa-Banah, has issued a stark warning regarding the critical role of terrorist financing in sustaining extremist groups, framing it as the ‘oxygen’ fueling their operations. Speaking during a panel discussion at the launch of the National Community Media Cyber Capability Building Project (NCMCCBP) at the National Communications Authority (NCA) Tower in Accra, General Ba-Taa-Banah underscored that cutting off the financial resources available to terrorist groups would significantly weaken their capabilities, effectively halting their operations and dismantling their infrastructure. His perspective highlights a growing and increasingly sophisticated threat, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between transnational organized crime and terrorism, and the increasing reliance on sophisticated cyber tools for funding. This isn’t merely about securing weapons; it’s about influencing beliefs and attitudes – a crucial element in the destabilization of societies, according to General Ba-Taa-Banah.” , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
