  This guy is making us nervous,my only advice to fellow Ghanaians is to be observant & stay away from where Europeans gather.

  Are we being targeted because of the two Gitmo fugitives? We shouldn't have allowed them in, in the first place. People are getting scared.

  This Dr. Aning guy is very insidious and paranoid with his so-called expert opinion. Is he now suggesting we keep the borders open because monitoring them would not prevent terrorist attacks? If nothing at all, protecting the borders would be an appropriate first step.
  
  I will ask at this point: what is the academic pedigree of this mouth-running sycophant?

  They are fully aware that they are killing fellow AFRICANS and do not care. They are targeting ANYONE that they deem to be an infidel. They are so full of satan, after they kill the obvious targets and Christians, they then kill their own fellow muslims. Avoiding Europeans and NON-muslims will not save you. When will people see that this is a Spiritual war?

  The borders can not be ignored not on the believe that they may use those places,they could be lawful immigrants who can carry out that attack,it should be based on intelligence gathering,not only within our borders but externally too,we should quickly identify the flash points.The airport security is very lose,the problem is Ghana is always quick to sign to international treaty's without fully understanding the issues,our president in a slip recently said we were ally's of America,this has still not been corrected.Ghana is noted for it outstanding role in international peacekeeping,let us make that our speciality and stop wading into terrorist debate that's has the potential of making us the target of this terrorist.When it comes to fighting terrorism,we should not be delusional about our readiness because we ve never handle any kind to begin to say we re ready,arm robbery has claimed many lives and continue to,Fulani hedges men ve been in the news lately and we don't even ve an idea which way to go in other to save the situation.The most basic with lay down rules is economic security,DKM and God is love managed to beat all the checks and succeeded in duping Ghanaians,money laundering also promote terrorism and the discussions should not be limited to only one or two angles.

  Experts always lead in finding solutions to issues at hand. Kwasi Anning is an expert? Yes. But in this big mouth talk he has not given any solution as to we should do instead of securing our border. Vague talk at best.

  You see this man again? Always blowing hot air. We have gone beyond advise and need solutions. If you were the national security coordinator what would u do?. This man talks as if the risk is far away from him and that it is some people's risk. All sorts of people calling themselves experts. This is the difference between the white man and black man. Black men like accolades which mean nothing to society but themselves

  Yes, he is saying do nothing because According to "His so called expert opinion" there is nothing we can do. In other words he is saying don't guard the borders because they are already here. He is also saying don't guard the borders so that more can come. He is also saying don't guard the borders because the terrorist should have an easy exit when they are ready to leave. Smh!

  Is Ghana an ally or stooge of America? I don't think Ghana can be an ally of a superpower like America. America speaks and Ghana shivers. America instructs and Ghana obeys. It is a master-servant relation. In short, Ghana is now a stooge to America after serving Great Britain for decades. It is wrong for Mahama to say America is Ghana's ally.

  What you say about Ghana's ability to confront and defeat terrorists might not the truth. All you say are well known and more are being done by the security agencies and partners than you, Dr Aning, know. You need to stop giving clues to potential terrorists who may be thinking of carrying any form of attack in Ghana. You knowledge about terrorism and terrorists modus operanda need to be updated, please.

  We should be much concerned about the knust student who was said to have joined these terrorist groups.what information has he relayed to these terrorist. It could be he was intouch with them while in school and would have exposed vulnerable parts and the hub of the school-knust to these terrorist. So therefore I presume knust should be on guards paaaaaaa. But how did he get intouch with these people? And we know they like destroying buildings with amassed people.

  I don't agree with you on this.Whether they're already in the Country or not, the Borders and known Footpaths Crossings should be tightly Secured 24/7 simultaneously alongside Strict Internal Surveillance by the Security Forces.And the General Public should be made aware to report any unattended baggage,and Suspicions to authorities(police)etc.Again,gov't must Equip the Police to Upgrade their roles to Monitor the Social Media 24/7,etc. That should be the trend towards the fight against terrorism,in my personal opinion.One do not need to be a Master in the Subject to know that. A Security expert indeed!.

  Again,the duties of the Police and Other Security Forces is not limited to independence Day parade. I think the Police must be exempted from Such parades to do their Core duties,but their Band may provide music.I think the Military should be the reason for the independence parade.B'cos the Military defends the nation.Therefore, is the Military which should be the main target of participant at Independence day parade,and Not School Children and the Police.The use of Sch Children has outlived its usefulness after 59 years of independence,in my personal opinion. On the other hand,the practice may be maintained(School Children) in place of boredom across the Country on that liberation Day.In any case there should be something to replace or entertain the public on that date. Example:fireworks,etc.
