Participants, including experts from security, intelligence, law enforcement and judicial authorities from Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Ghana, addressed the difficulties in tracing IED components, in particular dual use goods that are easily accessible in the border areas where most of them are posted. They also discussed how to enhance intelligence collection processes, drawing on standard operating procedures that are being used by other countries in the region in the context of battlefield evidence.
As she was on a working visit to the AILCT, Senator Hélène Conway-Mouret, representing French people living outside of France, met with the experts. She encouraged them to continue their efforts to combat terrorism, while assuring them of the support of technical partners in strengthening their actions, particularly through the programming of the IALCT.
