He is vowing to obliterate the group altogether. The same vow has been made regarding Hamas. Both, as of this writing, still exist, but of course, the last chapter has not yet been written. However, issuing too many empty threats will just make him look weak. Decisive action must follow.
“US won’t let ‘terrorists’ hide in Somalia, says President Trump,” by Esra Tekin, Anadolu Agency, April 14, 2025:
US President Donald Trump said Sunday that the US would not let “terrorists” hide among the people of Somalia.
“We will support the Somali People, who should not allow the Houthis to embed (which they are trying to do!), to end terrorism, and bring prosperity to their Country,” he wrote on social media, referring to the Yemeni Houthis, who have been targeting ships connected with Israel in a show of solidarity with besieged Gaza.
Somalia is situated in the Horn of Africa, close to Yemen.
“Time for the terrorists to hide, but it won’t do them any good. Our Warfighters, the Greatest the World has ever seen, will find them, and bring them to swift Justice,” Trump added.
“I just … empowered our Warfighters, once again, just like I did against our fight with ISIS (Daesh), who were completely obliterated in three weeks under General Daniel Caine, our new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”…

But the Somalia-claimed land nearest to Yemen is Somaliland, which is de facto independent of Somalia proper.
Yes – stop the Houthies from going to Somalia but by all means please repatriate Ilhan Omar there.
OLD GUY says
I’ll bet it wouldn’t take long to raise the money to buy Ilhan Omar a one way ticket back to her beloved Somalia.
James Lincoln says
OLD GUY,
I would personally pay the entire cost – today.

somehistory says

somehistory says

Lady of the Lake says
They want Somaliland to take the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Puntland would be good as well. Even better. (It’s the part of Somalia that forms the “horn of Africa”
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, I doubt that the Somalis will tolerate the Houthis in their midst, since they are sunni and the Houthis are shi’a. They may not mind an alliance w/ them against US and Israel, but absent that, if they have to put up w/ Zaidis among them, they’ll probably go ballistic
Reserve Somalia for the Gazans and any other Palestinians who’ll need to be expelled from Gaza, Judea, Samaria and Israel proper
ElderlyZionist says
Spray the qat crops with Agent Orange. The Houthis will all die from the herbicide or from drug withdrawal.

Trump vows not to let Houthis flee to Somalia and hide there
