Biden to deploy U.S. troops to Somalia, reversing Trump’s ordered withdrawal
PBS NewsHourAUG 2022
Despite Biden's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and pledge to end Washington's endless wars, US troops are now returning to Somalia without any clear strategic objective. It's highly questionable whether the Somali security crisis can be resolved militarily this time, after several years of failure by the US and its regional and international allies.
The US cannot evade its international responsibility by simply declaring its "forever wars" to be over. In the fight against terrorism, the world depends on the US military's strength. In Somalia, the goal is not to win the war on terror, but to manage it in a way that minimizes security risks and ensures a degree of stability.
