Black Hawk Down

The eldest son of President Trump was referring to a 2017 tweet the Somali American congresswoman made following a deadly truck bomb blast in Mogadishu.

The raid targeted al-Shabab leaders but reportedly left five civilians dead.

With double the number of airstrikes of 2016 and 400 U.S. soldiers on the ground, Washington's role in Mogadishu is expanding.

Washington has been fighting Al-Shabab for a decade in Somalia, but there's no end in sight.

Kyle Milliken was killed during an attack on Al-Shabab, an affiliate of Al-Qaeda based in Somalia.

The death is the first U.S. military casualty in Somalia for more than 20 years.

For the first time since the Black Hawk Down incident, regular U.S. troops are going to Somalia.

Trump recently gave U.S. forces greater freedom to strike an al-Qaeda affiliate in Somalia.

U.S. forces are currently supporting Somali troops in fighting al-Shabab.

The U.S. intervention in Somalia is not remembered fondly, but it saved thousands of lives.

Somalia has welcomed its first U.S. ambassador in 25 years.
