Gen. Michael Langley, head of U.S. Africa Command, warned that the Sahel region is the epicenter of global terrorism. Terrorist groups, particularly JNIM, have significantly expanded their presence and capabilities, posing a potential threat to the U.S. homeland. This comes as the U.S. reduces aid and military presence in Africa, while China and Russia increase their influence. Langley highlighted the growing threat, emphasizing the need for vigilance given the groups' increased capacity to launch attacks within the U.S.
