U.S. troops are in Somalia, but they could not or did not prevent these attacks. Clearly they aren’t accomplishing anything other than lining the pockets of the military-industrial complex.
“Somalia: Al-Shabaab Attacks Key Towns in Somalia, Killing At Least 15 People,” by Mohamed Olad Hassan, Voice of America, January 14, 2023:

In Bulobarde town, some 220 kilometers north of Mogadishu, a suicide car bomb has killed at least 11 people, witnesses and medical officials said.
A suicide bomber driving an SUV vehicle laden with explosives came under fire from security forces before reaching his goal, but detonated explosives near a police station and the base of the African Union peacekeepers from Djibouti, multiple witnesses told Voice of America.
“At least 11 people were killed in the blast and more than 50 injured — 30 of them in critical condition,” Yusuf Isaq Mumin, a medical official in the town, told VOA. “We are now sending those critically injured to Mogadishu since the local hospital has not the capacity to handle their cases here.”
Attack in Jalalaqsi
Meanwhile, a powerful car bomb exploded near a Somali military checkpoint in Jalalaqsi town, some 160 kilometers north of Mogadishu, when soldiers operating the checkpoint intercepted an explosives-laden vehicle. Another one went off almost simultaneously nearby when security officials shot the driver of the vehicle.
“A vehicle driven by a suicide bomber detonated near the checkpoint. Another suicide bomber detonated a vehicle at a location close to a school.

I can just see, in my mind’s eye, i elmi, alias i omar, with that snake grin and the evil gleam in her eyes, relishing what her best buds and countrymales are up to. Now, she might be wishing they had taken out some of the Americans there along with the others.
“The children of the devil are made evident by this fact; they have no love for their brothers.”
mozlums in somalia, as everywhere else, have no love for their fellow citizens, as they lust to carry out the “desires of their father, satan.”
