More US Trainers to Somalia

Radio France Internationale asked me to comment on 16 April 2017 on the US announcement that it is sending a "few dozen" troops to Somalia to train the Somali National Army in logistics. These troops from the 101st Airborne Division will join up to 50 special forces personnel who have been operating in Somalia for a number of years.

Foreign Policy published on 14 April 2017 additional information on this subject titled "U.S. to Send Troops to Somalia Amid Blowback" by Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian.
