 I'm moving on to outside Africa. The Iraqi government has condemned the U.S. air raid against Iran-allied fighters along its border with Syria and said it will study all legal options to prevent such action from being repeated. The cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadimi, held an emergency security meeting the day after the U.S. strikes, which is called the violation of Iraqi sovereignty. It was a rare criticism of U.S. action by the government of Kadimi, who is seen as friendly to the United States and has tried to check the power of Iran-allied militias. Iraqi officials say they want to avoid being dragged into a tit-for-tat escalation between Washington and Tehran.
