  • By "the war on terror in Somalia", do you mean the Ethiopia-led intervention of 2006-2009, in which the US took part?

  • @edelex just a friendly advice to a new user. don't assume that you are understood just because you alluded to something. people mostly read this site casually. they don't try to put their heart and soul into analyzing every little detail you think is important. a pedantic description will usually do better than an insightful description here.

  • One element to consider is what not having an anti-Shahaab mission could have resulted in. I.e. a stalemate may look bad compared to a mission statement of removing Al-Shahaab. But it compares rather favorably to having the entire country run by Al-Shahaab. Religious terrorist-run states are a bummer for everyone, not least the locals.
