“𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.” That’s the message coming out strong from this year’s AFRICOM-hosted conference in Nairobi. Secretary Hegseth’s remarks are more than just talking points. They signal a 𝐩𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐭. 🔹 A growing 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 that African forces are not just capable, they’re essential to shaping durable regional security architectures. 🔹 A 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 of how the U.S. engages, refining shared strategies, increasing interoperability, and holding open conversations about what’s working and what’s not. 🔹 A 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 around shared objectives in a moment where terrorist threats are expanding, not contracting, across the continent. This isn’t about rhetoric. It’s about partnership and moving from assistance to 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. There’s opportunity (and urgency) behind these signals. The coming months will tell us how the U.S. intends to follow through. #AFRICOM #SecurityCooperation #AfricaSecurity #DefenseStrategy #GovCon #ACHOD25
