More than 5,100 miles away from where Europe’s deadliest war in nearly 80 years is being waged takes place another conflict, one that has been going on for much longer and is no less deadly to the civilians who happen to be in the cross fire.
The site of this war is Somalia, a country in the Horn of Africa universally known for its political dysfunction, clan warfare, terrorism, corruption, and warlordism. According to New America, the U.S. has launched nearly 300 ground raids and air strikes in Somalia since 2003, the main targets of which have been terrorist leaders, insurgent commanders, and low-ranking al-Shabaab militants.
