Trump Sending More Troops to Somalia

Imagine my surprise.

The United States will send several dozen troops to help train Somali forces in their fight against the al Qaeda-linked militant group al Shabab, Pentagon officials said Friday, the latest move in the tit-for-tat escalation in the troubled East African nation, reports Foreign Policy.

This follows a March 30 order by President Trump agreed when he declared Somalia an “Area of Active Hostility,” which grants the military greater authority to launch strikes.
