Strengthening military co-operation:
The ‘African Lion 2024’ exercise aims to enhance co-operation and co-ordination between participating countries, develop their capabilities in the field of joint military operations and counter-terrorism, and exchange expertise and experiences in the fields of planning, command and control.
