Can someone with knowledge explain how the US will attack Somalia? Isn't the population density extremely high, almost like Hong Kong? How can a military strike be conducted there without massive civilian casualties? I'm being serious in this question. Any thoughts?
The population density of the Somali cities is not all that high. Prior to the current troubles, the tallest building in the country was only five stories, and I don't know if that building is standing anymore. Probably not.
The main thrust in Somalia would probably be in the rural areas, anyway. I don't think the terrorist training facilities are in the middle of Mogadishu. They tend to want a little more security and room to operate.
