Incidents of terrorism, drug trafficking, and organized crime continue uninterrupted. Terrorist incidents have also taken place in Budinac Faso, Mali, and Niger.

The US newly elected President Joe Biden announced on Monday that he had elected senior diplomat William Bearns to the post of CIA director.

The 64-year-old Barnes, who has been ambassador to Russia and Jordan, has 33 years of experience working with the Foreign Ministry and has worked with both Republican and Democratic presidents.

He has never been an intelligence officer. Byrnes was deputy minister of foreign affairs before retiring in 2014. He took retirement to operate the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace.

Burns, who was silent on the tussle with the Foreign Ministry after Donald Trump took power in 2017, began writing highly critical articles on Trump’s policies on foreign affairs, breaking his silence last year.

Byrne said, Burns, is a brilliant diplomat who has decades of experience in protecting our people and countries on global platforms.
