The government of Ghana has denied reports that armed militants in Burkina Faso are using the northern part of Ghana as their base to store military equipment and medical facilities to continue their insurgency and sabotage. 

Ghana's Ministry of Security yesterday issued a statement saying that the country does not have a policy of aggression and has not reached any agreement with armed militia groups. 

Ghana's Ministry of Security has strongly denied claims that Ghana is harboring armed militants and that the country's security forces are fighting hard against terrorism, especially in the north of the country.  

The statement of the Ministry of Security of Ghana has noted that: The government of the country through its security and intelligence departments are conducting continuous operations to prevent the infiltration of terrorists and militants in the border areas; and has been doing so for several years with great success. 

Ghana has a common border of 600 kilometers with Burkina Faso, a country that is the center of acts of terrorism and attacks by militants linked to the al Qaeda network and the Daesh group. Thousands of people have been killed and millions of others have been forced to leave their homes in the Sahel region, west of Africa.
