U.S. forces are training Somali troops, part of an urgent fight against al-Shabab, a subsidiary of Al Qaeda. This month, NBC News’ Courtney Kube had exclusive access with the U.S. military and spoke with leaders behind the operation. Somali troops face incredible danger in their fight against al-Shabab, with hundreds killed or wounded since last fall. Adding to the threat: a devastating drought and the terror group’s use of retaliation tactics.

My own Country like this is just hard to watch.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Afghanistan 2.0. Looks like military industrial complex needs more money.
Why do these western people love ruining countries and only showing the bad side of everything
Spending your tax dollars
They have secret agenda the west is evil
As a Hmong man, I grew up and work with Somalis in MN. Smart and respectful peoples 💯
USa get out of Syria.
Say NO TO US IMPERIALISM
Do they make special helmets for the Malis
the best thing we, the US, can do for the Somali people is to end the War in Ukraine since 90% of their wheat comes from there.
STFU dudes. Home check ups are only girls military officers Manual, Module referance.
Who said Somalis need US handouts? It is the US that needs to be trained by Somalis. Remember Black Hawk Down?
Reminds me a little bit of Ukraine. I guess USA has to run the world since the rest of the world is in shambles
Love a good false flag
i appreciate but americans are really two faced because somalis are still banned from some weapons and they can not import while americans are saying we're helping them, if you really helping them give them weapons so they can fight. there are different weapons, i aint just talking about ak47, or a shotgun.
Funding future insurgents, I love the waste of U.S. resources. If they wanted to liberate their own people they would not culturally allow such organizations to exist.
I hope you dont make it like afghanistan
Biggest problem we have that is USA We can Defeat alshabab for our own self's we all know that western countries are Biggest layers
Every country is military intervention by America.
It is really good move ,but al shabab are mostly require to join collision government to bring peace home despite religious beliefs
Thank you to the American government thank you for your help
Mexico needs American military base, or they will end up in the North Pole. 😭😭
1:09 Translation for “US troops are not on the front lines here” is “the white boys and girls are not the ones who are used as expendables or shields”
0:46 “What do Somalia need to defeat alshabab” is a white supremacy coded language. When you translate it in normal speech it means this “WHAT DOES SOMALIA NEED TO DEFEAT ITSELF”
Brigadier general Peter Bailey is a house Ni** trying to enslave and subdue Somalis and all of Africa for his white slave masters in the America. He’s fighting for the very people he supposed to fight against. What a colossal disgrace and eternal shame!!
LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES. THIS STARTED WHEN SOMALIA WAS INVADED in 2006 by the U.S. and Ethiopia in a War of Aggression. AFTER the Islamic Courts Union (their militia was Al-Shabaab) brought peace and security to Somalia, and had popular support even. But were toppled by the U.S. and Ethiopian invasion despite saying they wanted peace w the U.S. Bottom line is that they were Somali Muslims, whereas the invaders and those that have created this terrible situation are western and christian countries. STOP LYING TO THE PEOPLE NBC
The American people do not support this!
This is not how Somalians can defeat Al Shabab!! They need bring young Governments like between 20s to 30s first.Than they need a president who put the countries strong soldier..Finally after he cleared up the Al Shabab the president,he should put all the money fixing the country with providing everyone jobs and set laws to help the country..Like no tribalism which killed the country alot..Kick all old people from seats will help my country..Old people love to talk about tribe and wants their own tribe to have their seats top .This is what Somalians needs,hope they get a serious President kicks all this Governments out!!
In reality USA does not want to support Somalia
They wanna talk about hood and desperation while they shove 100billikn down Ukraine throats in total . HALF of which is money, then Biden says “we gotta pay for their pensions through a form of stimulus checks” maaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn gtfoh this country is dog water
I really really hope this is the begining of something great. The return of a great ancient African power would be something fantastic not only for the continent but for the world. My prayers to all my Somali brothers.
Women should not be fighting in a war how ridiculous
Black hoak down
Is a fresh change seeing Somalia military well organized, they still have big internal issues though
Northern Somalia is safer than Oakland. It comes down to corruption. Central and Southern Somalia has always been a basket case. Break up the country into 3. Punt land, Somaliland, and South Somalia.
Thanks for the coverage
Let’s get this baby! The US will rise again.
The only war that the USA can lead is against sheppards students or tribes. America had not fought one war against a real army in the last 80 years. BUT they support the ISIS and other terror orgs to despabili.the countrys and to rope them from their goods.
THIS is the US high finance doing in Somalia vor more then 50 years. Its was a christian wunderland today more a kalifat "send by USA"
Another Afghanistan being made
Amerikaa amerikaa licikk sekalii otak mu
I wonder 🤔 who's funding al shabab? Remember when the us used to drop weapons to isis welp there you go🤷
More US terrorism and war mongering. The most evil country in the world
90's Black Hawk
2023 Drone
At the end they will run just like in Afghanistan.
Somalia needed better partner than america.If they are there no chance of peace.
This is a very small portion of the threat Somalia feels. Somalia can easily defeat these terrorists but it’s bigger and more equipped countries helping the terrorists just to keep Somalia unstabled
