"The US has launched three more airstrikes in Somalia over three consecutive days, according to press releases from US Africa Command, as the Trump administration continues to bomb the country at a record pace.
AFRICOM said that it launched an airstrike on October 26 that targeted al-Shabaab about 25 miles north of the southern port city of Kismayo. That same day, the US-backed Somali government said a “precision airstrike” killed an al-Shabaab leader, though the town it said he was targeted in, Bu’ale, is more than 100 miles north of Kismayo, so it’s unclear if it was the same strike.
AFRICOM offered no other details about the strike as it stopped sharing casualty estimates and assessments on potential civilian harm earlier this year. “Specific details about units and assets will not be released to ensure continued operations security,” the command said.
The command also announced two separate strikes in Somalia’s northeastern Puntland region, launched on October 27 and October 28. AFRICOM said both strikes targeted the ISIS affiliate in the region and were launched about 53 miles southeast of the Gulf of Aden port city of Bosasso, and shared no other details."

Donald Trump, wanna-be Peace Nobel Prize Winner, launches military strikes in a poor African country...
"US Africa Command announced on Monday that its forces launched an airstrike in northeast Somalia’s Puntland region as the Trump administration continues to bomb the country at a record pace.
As usual, AFRICOM offered no details on the strike, saying only that it targeted the ISIS affiliate in Puntland and that it was launched to the southeast of the port city of Bosasso. Since April, the command has stopped sharing estimates on casualties or assessments of potential civilian harm.
AFRICOM also said the strike was launched in “coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia,” although the US-backed government, which is based in Mogadishu, does not control Puntland, as the state withdrew from the federal system last year after Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud made changes to the constitution that Puntland’s government didn’t support.
The US has been backing local Puntland forces who have been fighting against ISIS. Garowe Online, a media outlet based in Puntland, reported on Saturday that local forces claimed to have killed several senior ISIS leaders in its ongoing offensive in the Cal Miskaad mountains in Puntland’s Bari region, the same area where the US has been launching airstrikes."

"Less than a year after OpenAI quietly signaled it wanted to do business with the Pentagon, a procurement document obtained by The Intercept shows U.S. Africa Command, or AFRICOM, believes access to OpenAI’s technology is “essential” for its mission.
The September 30 document lays out AFRICOM’s rationale for buying cloud computing services directly from Microsoft as part of its $9 billion Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract, rather than seeking another provider on the open market. “The USAFRICOM operates in a dynamic and evolving environment where IT plays a critical role in achieving mission objectives,” the document reads, including “its vital mission in support of our African Mission Partners [and] USAFRICOM joint exercises.”
The document, labeled Controlled Unclassified Information, is marked as FEDCON, indicating it is not meant to be distributed beyond government or contractors. It shows AFRICOM’s request was approved by the Defense Information Systems Agency. While the price of the purchase is redacted, the approval document notes its value is less than $15 million."

Un altro successo a cui noi italiani abbiamo, probabilmente, contribuito attraverso #Sigonella e #Africom: madre e bambina ammazzati da un drone USA in #Somalia, a cui Usa rifiutano una semplice parola di umanità e scuse, come fatto per #GiovanniLoPorto
