Here yet again we see the governments of Africa either powerless against jihad groups, or unwilling to stop them. The Somali government launched “total war” on al-Shabaab last year. Yet this just happened, and it was only one of the recent jihad attacks.
“A car bombing struck a meat market in central Somalia. Six people died, officials say,” by Omar Faruk, Associated Press, September 28, 2023:
MOGADISHU, Somalia — A car bombing struck a meat market in central Somalia on Thursday, killing six people and wounding 14, local officials said, the third attack of the day in the volatile East African country.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack at the market in the town of Buloburde in Hiran region or the two earlier attacks on Thursday in the southern city of Dhusamareb, where no casualties were reported.
Somalia faced frequent attacks by the country’s al-Qaida affiliate, the militant group al-Shabab.
Buloburde Deputy Commissioner Jaliil Isse Foodey, told The Associated Press that three soldiers were among those killed at the market as they had tried to stop the suspicious car.
Foodey said that authorities believe a government base located near the market that’s the home of an army commander was the intended target….
Somalia’s government last year launched “total war” on al-Shabab, which controls parts of rural central and southern Somalia and makes millions of dollars through “taxation” of residents and extortion of businesses….

abu taleb says
Islam doesn’t teach its people to be care of other people, Islam makes them to be very selfish. So in general, muslims help others (including their own people) if they get some benefit from doing that.
For example, muslims give alm to the poor because they will be repaid by their god multiple times. During the Ramadhan month, Islamic evil god repays a lot more, that is why people give alm more during that month. So not for real compassion.
So no wonder if Islamic government doesn’t really care its people being killed by their fellow muslims. It will another case if the killers are non muslims, because there will jihad reward for fighting the non muslims. .
