Africa Starts 2020 Battling Extremism, Ebola and Hunger

Associated Press

   JOHANNESBURG - A tragic airline crash with far-reaching consequences,
   cataclysmic cyclones that may be a harbinger of the future, the death
   of an African icon and a new leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize.
   These African stories captured the world's attention in 2019, and look
   to influence events on the continent in 2020.
   The battles against extremist violence and Ebola will also continue to
   be major campaigns in Africa in the coming year.
