Africa-Press – Gambia. The true strength of any security strategy lies not in its weaponry, but in the minds that guide it. Through the “Kafaa” Initiative in The Gambia, the Islamic Mustary Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) is redefining the future of security leadership moving beyond tactical training to develop a new generation of field leaders equipped with the operational intelligence to make critical decisions under pressure.
“Modern terrorism” may appear to be a new term, but it precisely describes a decentralized and complex form of threat. It requires frontline officers to go beyond following orders-to think critically and analyze situations with strategic insight. This is where IMCTC’s Kafaa initiative stands out, shifting from traditional intelligence training to empowering participants to interpret information and translate it into actionable decisions on the ground.
The Kafaa program is designed to empower participants to develop their capabilities to a level that enables them to respond proactively and professionally to all forms of attacks. This is achieved through precise analytical training teaching them how to effectively assess and interpret extremist group tactics. Once a trainee masters strategic planning and precise execution in complex counterterrorism scenarios, they naturally evolve into a capable field operations leader.
This approach cultivates a new generation of security professionals strategic thinkers able to translate knowledge into sound, decisive action on the ground. By introducing global expertise, IMCTC ensures that Gambia’s security institutions can make informed decisions based on dynamic organizational intelligence inspired by international best practices.
Through this initiative, IMCTC goes beyond expertise transfer-it cultivates the seeds of intelligent and professional leadership within the specialized institutions of member countries.
