The US military hasn’t taken credit for the strike, which was reported on January 30

Originally published by AntiWar

According to the monitoring group Airwars, a suspected US drone strike killed seven civilians, including three children, in Somalia on January 30.

Airwars cited media reports from three news outlets: Shabelle Media NetworkSomali Guardian, and Caasimada Online News. Local residents said the strike took place between two villages near the border of the Hiraan and Middle Shabelle (Shabeellaha Dhexe) regions.

US Africa Command did not report an airstrike on January 30, but it’s not clear if the command is reporting each strike it launches. It’s also possible that the CIA has been conducting drone strikes in Somalia. According to Airwars, the US military has declared seven actions in Somalia so far this year, but the monitoring group has recorded nine more alleged US airstrikes.

Airwars has given the allegations about the January 30 a “fair” grading, meaning two or more credible sources have reported it. The fair grading is the highest level below operations that are confirmed by the suspected belligerent.

Caasimada Online News provided the names of the civilians who were killed: Ahmed Mohamed Noor, 20 years old, Abdiqadar Mohamed Noor, 18 years old, Qeys Mohamed Noor, 8 years old, Umar Maham Abukar18 years old, Abdullahi Mohamud Issa, age unknown, Ahmed Khadar Ibrahim Osman13 years old, Assir Hassan Abdi, 14 years old. Three of those killed were brothers. According to Airwars, the suspected intended target was al-Shabaab.

AFRICOM has claimed there were no civilian casualties in the airstrikes it reported this year. But the Pentagon is notorious for undercounting or lying about civilian casualties, especially in Somalia, where its operations are shrouded in secrecy and receive very little Western media coverage.

Netanyahu and Assad don’t care about Somalia at all. Some years ago, Iran helped Al Shabaab. Saudis did the same. Eritreans did the same. Because they wanted to destroy Somalia. However, we the Greeks should help Ethiopia, but Ethiopia is coming closer to Turkey.

BLM are the house niggers who join centcom to destroy the True Wakanda.

The false wakanda is propagated by azov jews and projected on blueray.

Even Hitler would object to such evil inhumanity on the part of all the traitor leaders of today, and the jews that hide behind them (asthma al-wahisha the whore jewess of assyria and ozzie princess syrian girl who was turned into a piggie).

Chris Gr

BLM are not genuine Africans but puppets backed by Soros and Rockefeller. Nation of Islam and Black Hebrew Israelites are nazis, on the other hand.

basharul asshead bin wahish is an idf double-agent for the kgb and mossad.
