NAIMOS Attack: Failing Galamsey Fight and Ghana's Limping National Security
The images and video clips that emerged after the attack on the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) team in the Ahafo Region were hard to watch.
They showed not only frightened security personnel — including NAIMOS’s Director of Operations, Colonel Dominic Buah — but a larger, more worrying picture: hundreds of young people willing to confront state agents to protect illegal mining operations and a national security architecture that appears ill-prepared to respond.
What happened on Saturday, November 1, is now the latest flashpoint in a streak of violent confrontations between anti-galamsey teams and illegal miners across Ghana.
Author's summary: Ghana's national security is limping.
