Conference Invites Military Members to Contemplate When War Is Just

November 11, 2026 World News

Last December, Archbishop Timothy Broglio visited the only permanent U.S. military base in Africa, Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, on the continent’s east coast. He met with U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Matthew Brown, commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa. China, France, Japan and Italy also operate military bases in Djibouti.

The first-ever event of its kind in Virginia was prompted in part by recent ethical debates about U.S. military actions in Iran and the Caribbean.
