CAIRO: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has called for the formulation of a clear African strategy to combat extremism and terrorism and dry up their sources of funding.

It was held under the chairmanship of Felix Tshisekedi, president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and current president of the AU, in order to discuss African issues.
