What is our interest in that hell hole? None. Well past time to stop playing world cop.
We had no interests there when Daddy Bush went in, all we got was thousands of Somali refugees like ilhan Omar who hate America.
The old Somaliland under colonialism was united in a single country. A dictatorship lasted for decades, but when it was deposed the country soon developed into anarchy. The USA was directly involved in 1992. It was at that time that the counry divided in two. The northern dogleg called Somaliland wanted nothing to do with the south. And that holds true to this day. The peaceable north recently urged the UN to allow it to cede from the south. The UN, backed by Biden’s people at the UN, denied a request that was most sensible. And now we are screwing around in southern Somalia once again. The people are probably the most fractious in Africa, and the Somalis are generally disliked by other Africans. So what could go wrong?
