Donald Trump, wanna-be Peace Nobel Prize Winner, launches military strikes in a poor African country...
"US Africa Command announced on Monday that its forces launched an airstrike in northeast Somalia’s Puntland region as the Trump administration continues to bomb the country at a record pace.
As usual, AFRICOM offered no details on the strike, saying only that it targeted the ISIS affiliate in Puntland and that it was launched to the southeast of the port city of Bosasso. Since April, the command has stopped sharing estimates on casualties or assessments of potential civilian harm.
AFRICOM also said the strike was launched in “coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia,” although the US-backed government, which is based in Mogadishu, does not control Puntland, as the state withdrew from the federal system last year after Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud made changes to the constitution that Puntland’s government didn’t support.
The US has been backing local Puntland forces who have been fighting against ISIS. Garowe Online, a media outlet based in Puntland, reported on Saturday that local forces claimed to have killed several senior ISIS leaders in its ongoing offensive in the Cal Miskaad mountains in Puntland’s Bari region, the same area where the US has been launching airstrikes."
