New Delhi: America has taken a big action against terrorists. America attacked the terrorists by conducting an air strike on the capital of Somalia. America has launched a major air strike on Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. In which more than 30 terrorists of Al Shabaab terrorist organization have been killed. According to the US African Command, more than 100 militants from the Al Shabaab organization attacked the Somali army. The US has carried out this airstrike to protect Somalia’s troops, in which more than two dozen al-Shabaab militants have been killed.
It is being said that the Somali army has sought help from America. After this, the United States along with the Somali army launched an air attack on the terrorists. The incident is from Galkad city in central Somalia. Which is located about 260 kilometers north-east of the capital Mogadishu. Somalia’s army said it was fighting more than 100 al-Shabaab militants. This terrorist organization is linked to Al-Qaeda. The help of the US Army was taken to eliminate the terrorists.
US troops are deployed to protect Somalia
The United States has deployed more than 500 troops to Somalia over the years to help the government and military fight al-Shabaab militants. These American troops have been stationed in Somalia since the tenure of former President Donald Trump. However, later the Trump government decided to withdraw the American troops, calling the situation normal. But current President Joe Biden reversed Trump’s decision and decided to continue the deployment of at least 500 American troops in Somalia. If Biden had not taken this decision, Al Shabaab terrorists would have taken control of the Somali army today.
America conducted many surgical strikes in Somalia
The US has conducted several surgical strikes in areas with al-Shabaab presence in Somalia. Dozens of Al Shabaab militants have been killed in separate surgical strikes so far. The government of Somalia is also breathing a sigh of relief. Earlier in November 2022, 17 militants were killed in a surgical strike by the US Army 285 km north-east of Mogadishu. Apart from this, 6 terrorists of al-Shabaab were also killed in late December. American forces are only deployed to protect Somalia from terrorists.
