U.S. AFRICOM Public Affairs
STUTTGART, Germany,
Aug 20, 2012 - Allegations that General Carter F. Ham, Commander of United
States Africa Command, influenced Ethiopian politics in any way are false.
The mission of U.S. Africa Command is to work with African nations to
strengthen their defense capabilities in order to deter and defeat
transnational threats and to provide a security environment conducive to
good governance and development. Command leaders and staff members do not
meddle in the domestic affairs of African nations.
