History is not some intellectual pursuit we analyze. It's a cudgel we use to reinforce the interests of the west

    On 20 July, the United Nations officially declared famine in two regions in the southern part of the country (IPC Phase 5), the first time a famine had been declared in the region by the UN in nearly thirty years.[15][16] Tens of thousands of people are believed to have died in southern Somalia before famine was declared.[15] This was mainly a result of Western governments preventing aid from reaching affected areas in an attempt to weaken the Al-Shabaab militant group, against whom they were engaged.[17][18]

    HMMMMMMM

    I WONDER WHICH WESTERN GOVERNMENTS THOSE WERE :thonk:

    2009–present:
    🇸🇴 Somalia Federal Government of Somalia
    🇺🇳 AMISOM
    🇺🇲 United States[1][2]
    Supported by:
    🇬🇧 United Kingdom[3]
    🇹🇷 Turkey[4]
    🇮🇹 Italy[5]

    HMMMMMMMMM

    Casualties:
    350,000–1,000,000+ killed[12][15][16][17]
    Displaced:
    2,000,000–3,800,000 displaced[18][19]

    So, a US-Supported anti-government group takes over as the legitimate govt as a bulwark against those darstardly Russians. An alliance forms against the new US-friendly govt in order to establish an independent nation. Millions are displaced in the fighting. Sounds like the same playbook.
