CNN: Amnesty International accuses US of causing civilian deaths in Somalia
Amnesty International accused the US military on Tuesday of causing civilian casualties in a series of airstrikes in Somalia in 2017 and 2018, claims the US military denies.
The strikes in question came after President Donald Trump eased restrictions on the use of airpower in the East African nation.
US Africa Command, which oversees US military operations on the continent, firmly rejected the allegations, saying it has made efforts to ensure the safety of civilians and that it had reviewed the allegations and found no evidence to support them.

New report implicates Trump in same crime that’s sending Michael Cohen to jail
Both allegedly lied to banks about their net worth to receive a loan. Only one is going to prison.
Amnesty International is a joke.
They fail to take legitimate threats to security in their crusade against western democracies. Their reporting is one sided always, supporting their narrative.
They should clean up their own backyard first.

"So, civilians are getting killed in a war, and this is news to these braindead idiots."
Dresden, Hamburg, dozens of cities in Japan, Coventry and others were obliterated.
So this is nothing new.
If The US had killed civilians in addition to pirates in Somalia a few years back, Amnesty would be bleating. But they could not have stop 1 act of piracy if they tried.
Self appointed referees, who could not do as good as or better job than the person they a bitching about should STFU!
I always wonder if Philoctes is the product of a Russian troll farm effort or that of a brain dead liberal.
