Ghana Peace
Ghana’s Army Combat Training School (ACTS) hosted two (2) Officers and 2 Soldiers from the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) participating in the school’s 2025 Young Officers’ Course (YOC), and Advanced Non-Commissioned Officers’ Course (ANTC), to a guided tour of the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, Accra, to deepen bonds of cooperation and mutual understanding.
The tour, under the aegis of the Commander, ACTS – Colonel Robert Narh, took place on Monday 22 September 2025 – a day set apart as National Holiday by Ghana to commemorate the birthday of the nation’s First President – Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, which falls on 21 September 2025.
The four personnel of the AFL are; Lieutenant (Lt) Leon Janathon Sullivan Snorton; 2Lt Kpadeh Tennih; Master Sergeant (MSG) Lawrence Garman Jacob; and MSG Simpson Victor Papee.
This act of ACTS does not only highlight Ghana’s history and values, but was also intended to strengthen cultural and diplomatic ties between the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), and the AFL.
Over the years, ACTS has welcomed Officers and Soldiers from allied African nations, particularly from Liberia and Sierra Leone, to participate in its flagship programmes, such as the YOC and ANTC.
Beyond its core mandate of training Officers and Soldiers of GAF in the art and science of war, ACTS also serves as a vital instrument of Ghana’s foreign policy, by projecting Military Diplomacy.
Military diplomacy is crucial to the coexistence of nation states, in the wake of shared threats of terrorism, money laundering, arms dealing and other transnational crimes, hence, deliberate efforts to strengthen ties with allied nations cannot be overemphasised.
