🇸🇴 🚨 💥SOMALIA LAUNCHES LARGE-SCALE OPERATIONS TARGETING AL-SHABAAB HELD TERRITORIES, MORE THAN 70 MILITANTS KILLED💥

The Somali military launched large-scale ground operations targeting territory held by the Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen militant group, commonly known as al-Shabaab.

The Somali military says heavy fighting took place between Somali troops and al-Shabaab militants in the Aboodin area of the Lower Jubba region amid a strong military ground offensive into the rebel-held territories with close U.S. air support.

According to a statement released by the Somali military, more than 70 al-Shabaab fighters were killed and dozens more wounded in the fighting.

Allied forces consisting of the Somali military and Jubaland soldiers attacked concentrations of al-Shabaab's group leaders, leading to the deaths of a number of senior commanders.

"More than 70 militants and leaders were killed in the war,” the Somali military said in its statement, adding that the U.S. military provided air support to the ground operation in Al-Shabaab strongholds.

New research indicates that the more iron in a given population, the more vulnerable that population is to the plague. In the past, healthy adult men were at greater risk than anybody else—children and the elderly tended to be malnourished, with corresponding iron deficiencies, and adult women are regularly iron depleted by menstruation, pregnancy, and breast-feeding.

(...)

Then, in 1347, the plague begins its march across Europe. People who have the hemochromatosis mutation are especially resistant to infection because of their iron-starved macrophages. So, though it will kill them decades later, they are much more likely than people without hemochromatosis to survive the plague, reproduce, and pass the mutation on to their children. In a population where most people don’t survive until middle age, a genetic trait that will kill you when you get there but increases your chance of arriving is—well, something to ask for.

The pandemic known as the Black Death is the most famous—and deadly—outbreak of bubonic plague, but historians and scientists believe there were recurring outbreaks in Europe virtually every generation until the eighteenth or nineteenth century. If hemochromatosis helped that first generation of carriers to survive the plague, multiplying its frequency across the population as a result, it’s likely that these successive outbreaks compounded that effect, further breeding the mutation into the Northern and Western European populations every time the disease resurfaced over the ensuing three hundred years. The growing percentage of hemochromatosis carriers—potentially able to fend off the plague—may also explain why no subsequent epidemic was as deadly as the pandemic of 1347 to 1350.

Bloodletting reached its peak in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. According to medical texts of the time, if you presented to your doctor with a fever, hypertension, or dropsy, you would be bled. If you had an inflammation, apoplexy, or a nervous disorder, you would be bled. If you suffered from a cough, dizziness, headache, drunkenness, palsy, rheumatism, or shortness of breath, you would be bled. As crazy as it sounds, even if you were hemorrhaging blood you would be bled.

A doctor named John Murray was working with his wife in a Somali refugee camp when he noticed that many of the nomads, despite pervasive anemia and repeated exposure to a range of virulent pathogens, including malaria, tuberculosis, and brucellosis, were free of visible infection. He responded to this anomaly by deciding to treat only part of the population with iron at first. Sure enough, he treated some of the nomads foranemia by giving them iron supplements, and suddenly the infections gained the upper hand. The rate of infection in nomads receiving the extra iron skyrocketed. The Somali nomads weren’t withstanding these infections despite their anemia: they were withstanding these infections because of their anemia. It was iron locking in high gear.

Thirty-five years ago, doctors in New Zealand routinely injected Maori babies with iron supplements. They assumed that the Maori (the indigenous people of New Zealand) had a poor diet, lacking iron, and that their babies would be anemic as a result. The Maori babies injected with iron were seven times as likely to suffer from potentially deadly infections, including septicemias (blood poisoning) and meningitis.

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA — Somalia’s army said it has killed 67 al-Shabab militants and seized large amounts of explosives in an operation in the north-central Mudug region.

Brigadier General Mohamed Tahlil Bihi told reporters Tuesday the military was acting on intelligence about movements of the al-Shabab group.

Bihi said the operation in the Harardhere district of central Mudug region took place at around 1 a.m. when 120 jerrycans containing improvised explosive devices were offloaded from a boat and carried in a vehicle that was guided by 69 militants. Bihi said Somalia’s National Army fired rocket-propelled grenades at the vehicle and destroyed it. He said only two militants were captured alive.

VOA could not independently verify the army’s casualty figures.

Somalia’s army has been conducting joint offensives with local militias against the Islamist militants since last July as part of an all-out war against the group.

In a town hall meeting Monday night, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud declared that al-Shabab would be eliminated by the end of the year.

Mohamud said the second phase of the operation would soon begin in Somalia’s South West State and in the Jubaland region.

Somalia is also depending on troops from Djibouti, Ethiopia and Kenya after the neighboring countries in January agreed to jointly launch military operations against al-Shabab strongholds.

No yeah that scene with Greg berating the sound editor guy felt very charged

it was uncomfortable fr, like you spend several years depicting corporate NYU in the whitest light possible (trust me, i know atn is fox news) and then when it's time to hire a black actor he is getting berated by cousin greg? even worse they haven't depicted or showed black one percenters at all and the few rich poc characters (stewy and marcia ) are side characters who don't get empathy or the classic uwu baby treatment from the fandom so... yikes.

Most importantly, the scene was giving kendall specifically asking jess about "africa".

#i mean lisa arthur was there #but she isn't a one percenter #i mean lawrence yee had two minutes i guess #it was uncomfortable to watch #i can't help but notice stuff like that #of course i know all of the characters are racists that work for fox news but that's not the point #as a black viewer i was uncomfortable #i'm somali btw in case you didn't get that from my bio #succesion #succesesion hbo #fandomshit

Wildfire: Western fires outpace California effort to fill inmate crews (AP)

“As wildfires rage across California each year, exhausted firefighters call for reinforcements from wherever they can get them — even as far as Australia.Yet one homegrown resource is rarely used: thousands of experienced firefighters who earned their chops in prison.

UN helicopter captured by al-Shabaab after making emergency landing, UN spokesman confirms

By CNN, 10:52am Jan 11, 2024

A United Nations helicopter carrying several passengers has been captured by terror group al-Shabaab in Somalia after making an emergency landing in an area controlled by the group.

An assessment team is being prepared, UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT), confirming the helicopter capture.

The UN emergency assistance helicopter made an emergency landing likely due to a mechanical issue in Somalia's Galmudug region, which is controlled by the al-Qaeda-affiliated terror group, according to the state-run Somali National News Agency (SONNA).

There were eight passengers on board, including foreigners, an a rescue is underway, according to SONNA.

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) said the helicopter "was conducting an air medical evacuation" and that more information would be released when it becomes available.

This comes weeks after Maalim Ayman, a senior leader of the al-Shabaab militant group operating in Somalia and Kenya, was killed on December 17 by a joint military operation between the Somali and US forces.

Somali Minister for Information Daud Aweis announced the death of Ayman on Friday.

"Ayman was accountable for planning multiple lethal terrorist attacks in Somalia and nearby countries," Aweis said in a statement on social media at the time.

Ayman is responsible for a terrorist attack on US and Kenyan personnel at Kenya's Manda Bay Airfield on January 5, 2020, US officials say.
