US AFRICOM chief discusses mission against extremist groups

The commander of the U.S. Africa Command (also known as AFRICOM) says the organization is focused on partnering with African nations to combat violent extremist organizations, transnational criminal groups, and the security impacts of climate change. General Michael Langley briefed journalists last week at the State Department. He spoke one-on-one with Zimbabwe-born journalists --- including Pearl Matibe – about commanding AFRICOM.
