“Roadside Bomb Kills 8 Family Members In Somalia: Mayor,” Agence France Presse, July 10, 2023:
A roadside bombing blamed on the jihadist group Al-Shabaab killed eight members of an extended family in central Somalia, a local mayor said on Monday.
The blast occurred late Sunday near a village outside Buloburde, which lies about 220 kilometres (136 miles) north of Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu.
“Eight innocent civilians were killed from the same family, among them a woman,” Sadam Abdi Idow, the mayor of Buloburde, told reporters.
“Al-Shabaab terrorists planted the mine after they were defeated in ongoing military operations in the region. These terrorists have no regard for civilians.”…
“The terrorists were defeated during this armed confrontation… and they took their revenge on civilians. They planted a landmine along the main road used by civilians,” Ahmed Ali, a Somali military commander, said by phone.

Someone should ask i. elmi, alias i. omar, about this. Get her thoughts. She has said, “no way in hell” would she do her job and listen to the president of Israel give a speech to Congress. So, how far into hell with she go with these terrorists in her homeland?
She went to bat for some somalia terrorists who live in the U.S., trying to get them a light, or no, sentence for their crimes. How far will she go for al shabab in her homeland?
Send her back to see what she can do to *help.*

The movie, Apocalypse Now, was based on a book, The Heart of Darkness. The film creators switched the location to Vietnam when in reality Africa was the location of the book.
