Amnesty International said in a new report Wednesday that the U.S. Africa Command, or AFRICOM, killed two civilians and injured three others in two airstrikes in February as it strikes back at the Somalia-based, al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group.
The other airstrike, on Feb. 24 near Jilib, killed a farmer who also worked for Hormuud Telecom, Somalia's largest telecom company. At the time, Hormuud officials told The Associated Press that an employee had been killed. "The U.S. military should not be allowed to continue to paint its civilian victims as `terrorists' while leaving grieving families in the lurch," Abdullahi Hassan, Amnesty International's Somalia researcher, said in a statement.
AFRICOM has carried out hundreds of airstrikes against al-Shabab in the past decade, with the rate rising sharply under President Donald Trump, but it has acknowledged killing civilians in just one of them, a 2018 strike that killed a woman and a small child, Amnesty International said.

As Death Toll Mounts, Trump Brags That His TV Ratings Are As Big As 'The Bachelor'The U.S. president boasted that the “ratings” of his news conferences are high which drives the 'Lamestream Media' crazy He needs to go. Permanently retired. SMFH What drives them crazy ( if that’s the right word) is that there is a pandemic going on and he is talking about ratings. I’m guessing he had to request someone find out what the ratings are. I’m hoping that’s not part of a normal presidential briefing. Media hates that his ratings are so high!! Losing their minds!

China to quarantine symptom-less coronavirus patients as infections rise againAs local infections peter out and new cases surface among travelers returning home, the existence of virus carriers with no symptoms is fueling public concern that people could be spreading it without knowing they are ill Oh boy, didn’t wait long enough. This is the issue each country will have as it “recovers” from the pandemic. Resist the urge to try to get back to “normal” life too quickly. People think that shutdowns are a cure, they are merely a mitigation technique. The infections won't stop, so how long as we prepared to shutdown life? Our leaders started shutting down society without any plan about how or when to restart. It's a slow motion disaster.
