AFRICOM commander visit to Ghana highlights U.S. support for joint security cooperation
Gen. Stephen Townsend, commander, U.S. Africa Command, meets with the Honorable Dominic Nitiwul, Ghana Minister of Defense designate, as part of a two-day visit to Ghana, Feb. 23-24. As violence in the Sahel and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea both steadily increase, Ghana’s strategic location makes it a critical anchor for multiple efforts, including activities to improve maritime security and counter transnational crime.
