WASHINGTON — While Africa presents opportunities for some of its regions, the continent continues to face varied challenges, the commander of U.S. Africa Command said in a Pentagon news conference April 7. AFRICOM protects U.S. personnel and interests from imminent threats on the continent and mitigates immediate threats and advances enduring security interests by working with international and interagency partners, Army Gen. David M. Rodriguez said. “Our programs, exercises and operations strengthen military-to-military relationships in a region where the United States has little forward presence,” making U.S. and partner forces more effective as they learn from each other and operate together, he explained.

Car-capital Stuttgart and cradle-of- automobile Baden-Württemberg are the luckiest place to be for car and engine enthusiasts. With the warm season draw- ing close now, more people are anticipat- ing races down the autobahn, or cruising tours among the rolling hills of Swabia taking it all in – old towns, castles, and green farmed lands. In the Stuttgart region, however, cars are not just on the road, they are part of the people’s heritage and culture. In fact, going places where you can talk cars can be the easiest way to meet like-minded Germans – with the added benefit of witnessing some of the top international events in this field.
