Forum: Somalia Situation 2022
Tuesday, July 26th @ 7pm @ Bethany Lutheran, 2511 Franklin Ave E, Minneapolis
DATE CHANGE FROM JULY 12TH. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Since the Bush administration, the US has done 268 airstrikes and killed around 2000 people in Somalia. While the policy of airstrikes started after 9-11, Trump led an unprecedented escalation of the US war in Somalia. US airstrikes and US supplied weapons have killed civilians and increased instability in the region.
Nearly a quarter of a million people are facing starvation in Somalia but instead the Biden administration is focused on escalating US warfare. They announced in May that 4-500 US troops will be going to Somalia and that the US plans to increase drone strikes.
Come hear from Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of CAIR MN, who has recently visited Somalia about the role of US intervention in Somalia.
Organized by the Anti-War Committee.
