Trump declares parts of Somalia a war zone, relaxes targeting rules

Biggest mistake ever, this will cause massive civilian casualties and will turn the population against the Federal Government. If Farmaajo has any honor he will not allow this to happen.
 
"Mr. Trump signed a directive on Wednesday declaring parts of Somalia an “area of active hostilities,” where war-zone targeting rules will apply for at least 180 days, the officials said."

"Under the new guidelines, Africa Command may treat Somalia under less-restrictive battlefield rules: Without interagency vetting, commanders may strike people thought to be Shabab fighters based only on that status, without any reason to think that the individual target poses a particular and specific threat to Americans."
 
Like farmajo can do anything to stop him:comeon:
He can at least say publically that he's against it and tell the US to train the SNA to fight Al Shabaab instead of using drones.

Remember the airstrikes on Galmudug troops almost caused another civil war. Relaxing the rules will only cause more damage.

I agree with you on that
 
Trump is a moron and USA will do anything they please. However Farmaajo should at least let the Somali public know he doesn't condone this.

I've always wondered how Al Shabab could have parades and marches out in the open when niggas in Afghanistan can't take a piss outside their cave without a drone strike.
 
I'm not completely against US airstrikes. If the Somali Army co-ordinate airstrikes in collabration with the US air force then its fine & will prove effective. Otherwise, indiscriminate airstrikes will just help AS solidfy their grip on the hearts & minds of the locals.

No news on which parts exactly will be declared or which regions, looks like they will just decide on a mere whim. The financier of terrorists supposedly fighting terrorist, very elaborate scam.

There is no coincidence why Kharijiites will be the dogs of hell fire, because in this world they are the Dogs of the Infidels.
 
Those of you saying farmaajo should speak out against it are wrong. America does not take criticism lightly specially from a president from a piss poor war town weak nation with no military to speak off.

Those of you saying farmaajos gov should coordinate with us are. America is too arrogant to be spoken to equally specially from a piss poor government whose influence doesnt extend a mile outside government hq that they fund. We have to take it lying down am afraid.

Lets just focus just focus on which qabil got most government seats and sow discord amongst ourselves. After all its this sort of primitive politics that landed us in this situation in the first place.
