THE US MILITARY GOES BALLISTIC IN SOMALIA

Many people in the United States and around the world are unaware of the "secret war" the United States has been waging in Somalia for nearly two decades, first through ground invasions and then through perpetual aerial strikes. As the bombs rain down quicker than ever on the East African country, those who are paying attention may wonder what the US's motives are.

While the United States claims to be fighting Al-Sh*b**b and the so-called "Isl*mic St*te," US Africa Command or AFRICOM is actually killing dozens of civilians as well.

Furthermore, it was US intervention in the Horn of Africa that led to the birth of Al-Sh*b**b. After a government collapse in Somalia led to a power vacuum in the country, a new government known as the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) began to form in the early 2000s. The United States pushed Ethiopia, a proxy state, to militarily invade Somalia to crush the ICU, facturing the union and leaving the elements that would become Al-Sh*b**b in its wake.

Since the United States declared a "war on t*rrorism" and escalated its military interventions on the African continent, t*rrorist attacks in Africa have increased by 100,000%. Do you still believe that more US bombing and invading will help keep the people of Africa safe?
