USA (Africom) has launched 63 air strikes this year compared to 47 the previous year and 35 in 2017. Almost all of these targets have been al shabab

@kickz @nomand @Yahya what do y’all think?
For every militant allegedly killed, 1000 civilians are hidden from the statistics. Trump has revoked many rules that was implemented by Obama. "Any man is Al-shabab", that is the US definition of a terrorist.

USA does not discriminate in killing innocent people. Somalian do, and they have an agenda. To kill the opposing clan. Afterwards take their fertile land. Same thing is happening in Afghanistan.

The translator, known as Bashir, had been involved in a 2016 operation in Galkayo, northern Somalia, in which a U.S. drone strike targeted and killed 22 members of a local militia which had been working in collaboration with U.S. forces, according to the Bureau for Investigative Journalism. After the incident, many believed Bashir was complicit in providing inaccurate intelligence to the American forces because the local force was from a rival clan to his own. Given that his wife is from the Biyomal clan, many suspect Bashir had helped persuade the Americans that the Habar Gidr on the farm were Al Shabaab as well, though the reason the U.S. would use a translator suspected previously of manipulating them into killing non-Al Shabaab combatants is unclear.

“We don’t believe the Americans have any agenda to kill us, they don’t have an agenda to support one clan against another,” says Ali Osman Diblawe, one of the farmers who was attacked in the operation. “But the Biyomal clan used misinformation and propaganda to wrongly kill us. They persuaded the Somali government and the Americans that we are Al Shabaab, which we are not.”
