Biden To Send Hundreds Of US Troops Back To Somalia
However, the Biden administration has been slowly increasing its involvement in Somalia. Though rare, U.S. forces have conducted a handful of drone strikes in the country after the initial freeze on such tactics. Now, the administration’s plan to send troops back to Somalia demonstrates the limit to the president’s commitment to stepping away from “forever war.”
An administration official who spoke to the Times noted that the situations in Afghanistan and Somalia were different, noting that al-Shabaab, unlike the Taliban, has conducted strikes against U.S. troops and interests in recent years and seems intent to continue to target Americans.
While the current mission in Somalia has specific aims, it remains to be seen whether this return will lead to a larger reengagement in Somalia and a recommitment to the War on Terror. But given the decades of American involvement in these fights, it seems likely that American forces will be involved in the region for some time.
