American military intervention in Somalia (2007–present)
Since the late 2000s, the United States has militarily supported the Transitional Federal Government and then the Federal Government of Somalia. U.S. military actions in Somalia date back to the 1980s, but following the September 11th attacks, military action was justified as counterterrorism. The Obama administration and the Trump administration conducted strikes by drone and fighter aircraft, advisory missions, training, provided intelligence, and attacked al-Shabaab militants. Two U.S. special operations personnel, two contractors, one US Army soldier, and a CIA paramilitary officer have died during operations in Somalia.
Robert Moore, a public policy advisor, has highlighted a number of justifications advanced by proponents of US intervention in Somalia, including the 2001 AUMF which authorizes the President to use force against the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks and their allies (al-Shabbab declared an alliance with al-Qaeda in 2012). The belief that military force should be used for humanitarian purposes, especially in mass-casualty conflicts (a doctrine known as Responsibility to Protect) is also cited, with the argument being made that international intervention could have prevented much of the bloodshed of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. Moore is critical of these justifications.[25]
In late 2020, US President Donald Trump announced that he would pull most US troops out of Somalia by 15 January 2021.[26] On 17 January 2021, the Department of Defense announced that it had completed its troop drawdown.[27] However, it has continued training allied forces, use of limited airstrikes, and special operations.
In May 2022, according to a government spokesman, President Joe Biden accepted a request from the Department of Defense to redeploy US soldiers to Somalia to combat the al-Shabaab insurgents.[28]
US airstrikes on Somalia
Since 2007, the Department of Defense (United States) has targeted militant groups, mainly al-Shabaab, within Somalia using airstrikes. These have included targeted drone strikes and United States Navy missile strikes. Special forces teams have conducted raids and acted as advisors. Airstrikes targeting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant increased dramatically under the Trump administration.
