This clearly didn’t happen - the War on Terror is over.

Nice map. FWIW, there are over 2000 miles of subtropical coastline in country more sparsely populated than Colorado in a strategic area of the world.

Repopulate it with Jews, Chinese or any other even semi-civilized demographic and it would be one of the most, if not the most, prosperous country in Africa within a generation.

Instead, they have to settle their jihadi promoting refugees all over the globe in places like Minneapolis and Portland, Maine.

I have a hard time feeling bad for any UN soldiers, if you work for them you assume the risks.

As a former Canadian soldier, I flat out refused to do anything with UN.

The lede is an utter joke: Somali militants

What's a militant? What's so hard about typing Somali Muslims?

SNIPPETS from the article in post no. 9:

SNIPPET: “In the past, Shabaab has shown it can penetrate security at the heavily protected areas in the capital and carry out deadly attacks.”

SNIPPET: “Shabaab has also executed a suicide attack outside Somalia’s borders...”

SNIPPET: “Shabaab and its Kenyan branch, the Muslim Youth Center, formally joined al Qaeda in February 2012. The east African terror groups were closely tied to al Qaeda for years prior, however; Shabaab leaders had openly proclaimed their allegiance to al Qaeda long before the official merger.

Al Qaeda and its affiliates and allies have carried out numerous suicide assaults such as the one in Somalia today in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Algeria, Mali, and Niger.”
