Donald Trump says he ordered military air strikes on a senior attack planner and others from the Islamic State (IS) group in Somalia.

"These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies," Trump posted on social media.

"The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians."

In a post on X, the office of the president of Somalia said they had been informed of the US strike targeting senior IS leadership in the northern part of the country.

In a post on X, the office of the president of Somalia said that President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud "acknowledges the unwavering support of the United States in the fight against international terrorism and welcomes the continued commitment under the decisive leadership of President Donald Trump".

The post also said the latest operation "reinforces the strong security partnership between Somalia and the United States in combating extremist threats".

Meles Zenawi left the Earth before Trump could get him.

Another great move by Trump:







The US has long framed its foreign aid programmes, such as those under USAID, as benevolent efforts to promote development, democracy, and human rights.

However, anti-imperialists everywhere have always known that these programmes are tools of soft power, advancing American geopolitical interests and maintaining influence over other nations.

For decades, anti-imperialist activists have criticised US foreign intervention because it perpetuates dependency, undermines sovereignty, and exacerbates inequality.

Ironically, if the US continues to scale back or end such programmes, it will inadvertently align with anti-imperial demands in the name of punishing the Global South.

This ideological confusion will lead to outcomes that anti-imperialists have long fought for, even if the motivations behind those outcomes are far from aligned with anti-imperialist desires.

Fingers crossed they don't renew AGOA and cut off the very benevolent handouts to those Africans leeching off the great US of A.

Poor ፊንጣጣ, Can the Arab Abid Concubine slaves like Fiyameta ፊንጣጣ of Eritrea also be "commended and admired" for hating their own identity, burning their of Habesha languages and heritage to adopt Arabization in Eritrea like the Arab Abids of Sudan?
How do the savage Arabs treat the self hating Arab Abid Concubine slaves in Eritrea?
