Yes, it's the prequel to Season 7, which should start in January. It is partly taking place in Africa (some non-existant country).
This 2 hour prequel is a remnant of the shooting they already done for Season 7 before the writers-strike.
I'm very hyped for Season 7, 24 has been of the air for way too long.
