During his visit on Saturday, Josep Borrell, the EU's chief diplomat, officially presented the 105 vehicles to Ghana's armed forces. This military equipment, comprising armoured vehicles, had been confiscated from a ship destined for Libya in the previous year by an EU maritime task force. "It is imperative to understand that no single country can confront the terrorist threat on its own," Ghana's president said. According to one of the EU officials, member states collectively agreed that this approach was more favourable than destroying the vehicles. Joseph Borrell said EU investment would also target job creation and services particularly in northern Ghana where there are concerns that jihadists may attempt to exploit socio-economic discontent.
