The threat of the ISIS terrorist group continues to grow in Africa, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab warned, as he is expected to pledge £12.6 million ($17.5 million) on Monday to support efforts to counter ISIS in West Africa.

Raab is meeting with his counterparts from more than 45 countries in Rome, including co-hosts Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio and U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, at a meeting of the Global Coalition against Daesh, another name for ISIS.
