The African Union (AU) has called on African countries to exert robust security collaboration and coordination to prevent terrorist and criminal groups from deepening their roots in the continent.

The urgent call was made by Alhaji Sarjoh Bah, director of Conflict Management within the AU's Political Affairs, Peace and Security Department, as he underscored the crucial need to exert concerted efforts as security threats continue to emerge and mutate in different parts of the continent.
