LIVE: Oil Wars, Weapons & Africom Fueling Somalia Crisis

The House just voted to keep 900 troops in Somalia. Somalia represents another forever war & drone war that fuels the military-industrial complex under the guise of fighting the war on terror. US weapons and presence here is only exacerbating the violence and giving strength to the very “terror” the US claims to be fighting. Located in the strategic Horn of Africa, Somalia not only has the longest coastline in Africa, but perhaps the world’s largest untapped coastal oil reserves. In 2021, the Somali government signed a $7 million oil exploration deal with the Houston, Texas-based company, Coastline.
