NIAMEY In a ceremony attended by Nigerien Minister of National Defence Lt. Gen. Salifou Mody and IMCTC Secretary-General Maj. Gen. Mohammed Al-Moghedi, as well as ministers, ambassadors, senior officials, and regional experts, the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) officially launched the second phase of its Sahel Countries Program in Niamey, Niger.
During his opening remarks, Al-Moghedi conveyed his sincere gratitude to the Saudi Minister of Defence and head of the IMCTC Defence Ministers Council, Prince Khalid bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, for his unwavering support in furthering the coalition’s goals.
Referencing the SR100 million strategic plan that the Kingdom committed to during the IMCTC defence ministers’ conference in February 2024, he emphasised Saudi Arabia’s dedication to counterterrorism measures. Al-Moghedi also highlighted Saudi Arabia’s broad support for the Sahel nations, which includes offering 46 training courses specifically designed for applicants from IMCTC member nations.
In order to strengthen the Sahel region’s resistance to extremist threats, IMCTC intends to execute a comprehensive counterterrorism strategy during this second phase through a number of capacity-building initiatives aimed at important domains like the financial, media, intellectual, and military sectors. — SPA
