I've heard some authoritatively-stated rumblings from ex-pats on another forum stating that travel in northern Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire has gotten dangerous due to Islamist activity. This is not something I've heard previously, and I can't confirm what they're saying, but at least one of the sources is not generally prone to scaremongering or exaggeration. I'd take with a grain of salt, while listening carefully for corroborating reports.
