ABAYOMI AZIKIWE: Although the Trump administration’s foreign policy
towards Africa has gained far less attention by the western media, there
has been the continuation of already
existing hostilities on the African continent. Somalia was singled out
when Trump ordered the escalation of Pentagon and Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) personnel being stationed in this Horn of Africa state. A
U.S. Navy Seal soldier was killed by al-Shabaab guerrilla units several
weeks ago while they were embedded in the American and European Union
(EU) backed Somalian National Army (SNA).
