Somalia: 21 dead, 117 wounded in deadly Al-Shabaab attack in Mogadishu hotel

But remember, according to ex-CIA director Hayden, Republicans are the greatest terrorist threat in world history.

“ The attack was the biggest in Mogadishu since Somalia’s new President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud took office in June and underscored the challenge of trying to crush the 15-year insurrection by the Islamist group.”

FAKE NEWS.

We all know better.

George W. Bush, Barry Soetoro and many others have told us…repeatedly…that islam is the religion of peace (sic).

We know those two know everything, right? 💩

🤦‍♂️

Somalia is a failed nation-state. There’s very little that can be done to help if warring parties won’t negotiate.

In west Africa / Nigeria you have Boko Haram.

In east Africa / Somalia & Kenya you have Al-Shabaab.

In India you have Lashkar-e-Taiba & others operating from Pakistan (Mumbai 2008).

Worldwide you have Isis and others being terrorists.

Authors are attacked and supporters threatened over writings.

I wonder if there is a pattern here?

Joe has the CIA off duty in Somalia. The WHACK job Islamofascists are back.

All Shabib Al Shabab

The CIA director is Being Had.

Why? Its simple. This is Obama's Third Term as President and he likes Al Shabab...its fighting the "colonial powers" for his unimancipated native tribe in Somalia, Sudan and Northern Kenya. And Kenya just de-elected Obamas Isamofascist friend , Rial Odinga, and put in Ruto.

Now there has to be hell to pay. It would not surprise me if the CIA was providing Al Shabab its ordnance.

Watch Al Shabab attack Kenya now. And soon. Obama is pulling the strings IMHO.

************************

From thread article:

*************************

"Twin explosions

Mohamud said last month that ending the jihadist insurrection required more than a military approach, but that his government would negotiate with the group only when the time was right.

According to police, the attack began with a blast caused by a suicide bomber who forced his way into the hotel along with gunmen.

Minutes later, a second explosion struck as rescuers, security forces and civilians rushed to help the injured, witnesses said.

Al-Shabaab spokesman Abdiaziz Abu-Musab told the group's Andalus radio earlier Saturday that its forces had "inflicted heavy casualties".

Al-Shabaab has carried out several attacks in Somalia since Mohamud took office, and last month launched strikes on the Ethiopian border.

The militants were driven out of Mogadishu in 2011, but still control swathes of countryside and retain the ability to launch deadly strikes, often targeting hotels and restaurants.

The deadliest attack occurred in October 2017 when a truck packed with explosives blew up in Mogadishu, killing 512 people."

***********************************

My comment:

***********************************

Odinga and Obama Circa 2006.Then Senator Obama violating the Logan Act by campaigning for Odinga's election in Kenya.Followed by Obama inspired riots and mass slaughter by inter tribal warfare and executions by Machete.Women, men and chldren, including an Olympic Gold Medalists, when Odinga Lost. Thats what Obama's radiacl Marxist "Get in Their Face " did in Kenya.Soon to come to the USA courtesy of Obama's Third Term as President with the Joe Biden Puppet, BLM and ANTIFA.Same technique.

The Magic Negro Strikes Again!

Bengazi was Jazzi! Save and Repeat says Obungo!

I'll be honest, I've always fancied the horn of Africa and their pristine beaches. If they weren't so stone-age culturally they'd be able to create a $$ Billion $$ economy and thrive.

Well you see what Europeans did to Zimbabwe, South Africa, and other nations - until they got run out by the jungle herds.

It was the cultural rot in Britain and the USA that drove them out of Rhodesia and South Africa.

What conservatives predicted would happen, happened, and is happening.

The carnage and destruction has been intense. The suffering, worse.

And the leftists and liberals look away and say la la la la... I don't see anything, I hear nothing...

Whenever things get straightened out and sane people are in positions of authority again we need to institute a complete ban on leftism, liberalism, communism, marxism etc. punishable by death for those wishing to proselytize it.

Billions of people will be dead by the time that happens - but it will happen.
