According to reports from Fox News and ABC News, U.S. Africa Command Commander General Michael Langley warned on the 29th local time that the Sahel region in Africa is now the "center of global terrorism". The terrorist organizations in this region have significantly increased their power over the past three years and have enhanced their ability to attack the United States mainland. Langley referred to the Sahel region as a "flashpoint for long-term conflict and escalating instability" and "the center of global terrorism". He also stated, "Extremist organizations are growing in power, and their ambitions are expanding. As they continue to expand their capabilities and scale, they pose a threat to the security of the United States mainland."
