The training, held under the patronage of Defence Minister Baboucarr Joof, is part of IMCTC\u2019s efforts to strengthen member states\u2019 capacity to combat terrorism and respond to emerging security threats.<\/p>\n
It focuses on improving both strategic and operational preparedness in line with international counterterrorism standards.<\/p>\n
Participants include field commanders, officers, and strategic planners drawn from various units across the security services.<\/p>\n
Over the next two weeks, they will receive intensive training on prevention, rapid response, and coordinated strategic planning.<\/p>\n
In his opening remarks, Defence Minister Joof said terrorism and violent extremism remain serious threats to national and regional stability, urging participants to make full use of the programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cHosting this training underlines our commitment to equipping our security forces with the knowledge and strategic skills needed to confront modern threats,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The training is expected to enhance collaboration, readiness, and intelligence-sharing within the country\u2019s security architecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
