Trump the ‘peacemaker’ ramps up America’s forever war in Somalia

[Deeq A.]

The United States has been conducting attacks in Somalia since at least 2007, with airstrikes skyrocketing during Trump’s first term. From 2007 to 2017, under the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the U.S. military carried out 43 declared airstrikes in Somalia. Under Trump, AFRICOM conducted more than 200 air attacks against members of al-Shabab and the Islamic State group. The Biden administration conducted 39 declared strikes over four years.
