Hon. Abdul Kargbo, an opposition leader in Sierra Leone and member of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Parliament, has called for a strengthened early warning system to prevent crises and ensure political stability in the region.
Speaking on the importance of peace for development in West Africa, Hon. Kargbo stressed that no member state can thrive without stability.
He highlighted the role of the ECOWAS Early Warning and Response Network (ECOWARN) in monitoring security threats, crime, environmental concerns, governance issues, and health indicators across the region.
