#1 I'm pretty sure there is a never-ending supply of Al-Shabob 'Commanders" to be fed into the Somalia grist mill. Can anyone share the slightest idea of why we are killing this never ending supply of imbeciles? Decades of involvement, billions in treasure, and today, 60% of the land area of "Somalia" is actually occupied by Ethiopian troops". What is the point? Can it simply be that the inertia is simply that no one wants to be responsible for owning the failure signaled when we leave?

" US Foreign Aid to Somalia-Since 2006, the U.S. has given more than $3 billion in humanitarian aid and $253 million in developmental aid since 2011. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) allocated $411 million in December 2022 to respond to the drought and prevent famine in Somalia.Feb 28, 2023" (WIKI cite)
