I hope this is resolved quickly because we have a giant family trip scheduled.

[rwa265]

Some people did something.

[BenLurkin]

Be sure to wear you face diapers.

[17th Miss Regt]

True, but their lives don't matter.

[ronnie raygun]

Only interetsed in story if omar and her family are the hostages.............that didnt make it

[Husker24]

There goes my vacation plans.

[Puppage]

A religion of peace operation?

[SaxxonWoods]

Oh, Somalia. I thought it sounded like England.

[Pollard]

Sounds like a family issue

[AppyPappy]

Vacationing in that hellhole?

[Bigbrown]

As a veteran helicopter (MEDEVAC) pilot of Mogadishu I can say with certainty that the place is and always will be a shithole. We had one black pilot in our unit, when we left he said he would never refer to himself as an African-American again. He said he was an Black-American! He wanted no ties to those people whatsoever, tribalism is complete violence.

[shanover]

Send the “squad” over to work things out.

[PLMerite]

“Oh, Somalia. I thought it sounded like England.”

Then it would have been Mogadishire.

[SE Mom]

Well done.

[null and void]

Islam is to peace like democrats are to decency.

[JerseyDvl]

I always plan my summer vacation for the last week in August. I’ve heard that Mogadishu is lovely at this time of year but I fear that my timing might not be as great as I previously hoped. Should I cancel?

/s/ Who the hell would vacation in Somalia? Even Ilhan Omar fled this eternal shit hole!

[null and void]

She should go back. Her country needs her!

[lee martell]

They have Hotels in Somalia?
You can cancel my reservation.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Ahh, yes. Nothing quite says "weekend getaway" and "downtime" like a couple's weekend in Mogadishu at the "Elite Hotel" on "Lido Beach".
