For the first time ever, the U.S. military allowed reporters and TV cameras to accompany U.S. special operations as they quietly battle one of the strongest, most brutal terror networks in the world. Courtney Kube reports from Somalia for Meet the Press Reports.

#Somalia #Military #War
We Somalis don’t need ameriKKKa to tell us who is a terrorist we know this wording is deception. Somali government needs to talk to the Shabab which is pretty much imbedded in all institutions and services of Somalia this war will never be won mark my words until the u.s is kicked out of our affairs and sit with Our fellow Brothers.
If Columbia talked to the Fark Somalia can talk to Shab unless We are willing to have many more years or decades of insecurity. ameriKKKa isn’t the friend of Somalia 🇸🇴 nor any Muslim Nation. GOD SPEED THE DEDOLLARIZATION AMIIN 🤲🏾
The Somali soldiers look malnourished
Maybe they are. So what’s your point, again?
Wherever the West goes…..trouble follows. Vietnam….also a secret war. Look at those kids in uniform…..just like Hmong soldiers in Nam.
Yeah the West is so horrible for helping Somalia in its fight against Wahabbi terrorists
So, this has nothing to do with China setting up shop in Africa?
China has nothing to do with Al-Shabab
Good God bless you all people who love USA Americans and European countries and friends of both, i respect democracy ,i thanks good people who sucrifinced their countries to make Somalian people be in peace and be equal justice system,be equal in standard of living in society, so good so happy
Here we go again smh
Mistake no.1: Bowing down to the Arab religion while trying to run Arab religious extremists out of your country is a recipe for failure. They’ll destroy you from inside with traitorous slaves.
Mistake no.2: Trusting your other enemy, amerikkka.

BRISTOL TN/VA 37620/24201
Afghanistan is not a good example to use. The world knows that was a fail .
This is total BS. I fought in Somalia in 1993 and worked with the State Department and CIA while I was there. I was a USMC Fast Team 6 Marine. Somalia has tons of oil we want. Somalia has a deep sea port (access to US military warships) that gives the USA access to the middle east. They also have an airport that can land military planes which makes Somalia a forward operating base for the USA. Look at Somalia on the map then calculate the range of US military warships, planes, and other items. Somalia is a jump point for us.
It is extremely concerning that we can watch a report regarding ISIS fleeing around the middle east and the struggles that Somalians face due to the fighting, but America cannot get one sentence out of the Border Czar’s mouth about why immigrants are coming to our border. This was a surprisingly well presented piece of journalism from NBC for once. Usually, everything they put forth is wasted hyperbole unless they want to shape the minds of their sheep on a specific political agenda.
These guys are being propped for backyard work. And a great job they will do.
If this news is true it explains why Iran decided to throw its hat into the African ring and cosy up to Kenya.
🗣📣The same footage from the war in Afghanistan 😂🤦🏿♂️The real terrorists are folks from other countries in Somalia
Man Black Hawk down didn’t teach us anything
Anybody else remembering Black Hawk Down?
Lol… we should send all the females and especially Western feminist women to the forefront of wars. To fight wars.
As usual no truthful information
well,maybe the somialians shpould ask the pirate for some cash so they can buy some decent weapons .tax the pirates…lol
5000’Somalis trained in Eritrea. However Eritrean falsely accused and sanctioned by USA
So all the Somalia govt needs from the US is funding, weapons, training,intelligence and air support. Sounds like we’re maybe propping up a puppet state
America created that beast now america trying to play the good guys .
US is going to evacuate Somalia like it did in Afghanistan.
The US must of found some new resources to steal 😂
but they can identify soldiers 😢
It’s crazy how radical Islam is has been destroyed for ages
Another big old scam in the business of geopolitical hegemony 😂
😢😢😢
UAE and Saudi are main supporters of terrorists Al-Shabab.
You’ve the air superiority you suppose to control things more than they’re doing
This is why I signed up for the Marine Corps. I wanna support these people in their fight against theocracy and terror. I doubt I’ll ever get sent anywhere like this, but if I am assigned a job that helps, I’m glad to do it.
Then you get home and outta the Corps and forgotten about. Be careful what you wish for Marine. You just might get it.
LIMA 3/5 1st MarDiv *GET SOME*
Camp Fallujah, Iraq 2004-2006
Thank you in advance
Well US trianed soldiers are fighting somaliland fot the past 5 months in eastern part of somaliland ,which is the only democarcy in africa and they couldnt make advancement in the fronts facing a tremendous resistance from the self reliant somaliland !
If its so SECRET…WHY IS IT ON NATIONAL AND WORLD NEWS?
Sixty years after endipedendence and african countries still depends on foreign training of their military..its shamefull
NBC is like the government’s mouthpiece with this propaganda. Terrorist America has no right to be in Somalia or any other country in Africa or the Middle East.
This story contains numerous assumptions and lacks substantial factual evidence. Somalia possesses abundant resources that can sustain its citizens and even provide surplus for neighboring countries. Therefore, relying on grain imports from Ukraine seems unnecessary. The path to Somalia reclaiming its status as a self-sufficient state is hindered by just three obstacles.
at any moment leaves the United States in the abandonment like afghanistan
Idk why, but I always laugh when they show the Taliban going across a short jungle gym
when america homeless drug and gun shooting in america they still busy war….when china getting stronger for the hardwork USA still busy secret war such a useless country no wonder many western starting like china when they step foot in china..
I dont know why always westren media targeted the bad view of Somalia, I’m living in Mogadiahu but i never seen the place you filmed in NBC.
So you expect us to believe that America (a country who doesn’t even care about the well being of her own black citizens) is fighting for the “well being” of Somalia out of the goodness of their hearts? yeah right. What is it really about ?
Who said anything about the goodness of heart? It’s about influence.
I guess it’s not a secret now
🤣🤣
America is not afraid of the Black banners they are afraid of ISLAM
That young lady is brave. Her English is perfect and I pray for her and most of her comrades.
a few specials ops advisers in these countries is not going to stop the terrorist who have no rules and are
willing to do anything. This mess in Somalia has been going on for decades, any progress? it appears not.
these countries our hopelessly corrupt. Our military has gone down the drain at the top levels.
long live Al-Shabaab
Anyone remember seeing this all the time on the news? 0:21
I find it bizarre that Alshabab (If I spelt it right) getting funds and weapons so easily and undetected.
It’s hard to believe that the whole world army, US, African Union, European, Arabs and Israelis are unable to defeat these unsophisticated, bare-footed Al Shabab terrorists. The UN should lift arm embargo and let Somalis alone deal with their own terrorists.
im hopeful and optimistic.
Im ok with helping people in need but i cant be the only one who thinks that US should leave things alone?
Want to defeat Al Shabab? END THE CIA who arms, trains, and finances them.
If ten countries go over to fight it will be over. But you won’t do it, it good for business!
How do you recruit the danab bcoz i think its easier for a mole to infiltrate the military
This report as well done and edited as it is misses the mark. How many times did she say..”well funded better arms”. The entire conflict in Somali as well as other African hot spots is due to PMC’s hired by corporations which are funding rebels and groups like Al-Shabaab for their own interests. Stop the money…stop the blood shed. This report missed this.
You offer food and lodging to any person living in extreme poverty.. they probably will do whatever it takes. That’s why and how these groups like Al-Shabaab have so many troops.
You guys aren’t update, its 2023 and its the end of al-Shabaab they’re no longer have the capability to face our armies.
The only way for Somali government to bring peace to Somalia is when they stop Military cooperation with the Western nations and USA.
stop USA involvement start getting weapons only from China, Russia or maybe from other African nations.
Because we don’t see the level of insecurity in the global South in western countries and America yet Africa is always a target for terrarist activity. Funded by NATO countries
If majority of people are joining militant group and not taking U.S side then arent they right and U.S wrong ?
Lol Isis was started and is funded by the Cia! Ya and you go so glad their fighting this evil! People just don’t get it
Yeah great story for the citizens, that’s not the reason we’re in Somalia… we’re a bunch of gullible hamsters
We there to steal like always
The US is in Somalia for its own selfish interest.
I watched a documentary America gave Alshabab leader 2 million dollar
Once again religion ruins more lives. Not only is faith a bad reason for anything, it should be grounds for incarceration. Dont tell me they aren’t true believers. All i know is that neither god, jesus, Mohammed, etc, ever show up to help.
The USA is giving Alshabab those weapons, training its military, and causing chaos to mine their minerals.
Shame on you USA. We HATE you, warmongers.
That’s the African government fault for not having a strong military
Those terrorist would never do that here, because our military too strong
I never thought America would come to the Somalia honestly why now is there something is going on
This jus usa vs Russia again in a proxi war 🤕
As always USA playing the role of human defenders,you are the most evil country in the whole world, dont forget your war crimes in iraqi, afganistan and another countries 😊
America is not in the war , itz the somali govt and itz troops.
All African know is the USA and European friend the financing the terrorist in all over the world
No food but enough guns and bullets lol
Somaly needs Wagner, not these amateurs
AMERICANS ARE THE ONE WHO KNOWS TERRORISTS INDEED 😁
ah its uranium, im sure somalia needs freedom.
There’s no mention of Al shabab being directly funded by Suadi Arabia and also holding their ideology as driving force for their violence
In the same time US support rebels in Syria. Those rebels are also islamic.
Al-qaida Is usa back terrorist organization that cause very beneficial for usa more powerful and control on Somalia, usa needs to reason continuously present in that reason needs for smuggling Oil, gas and others resources with the Help of pirates.
Turkey and Turkish Armed Forces are also supporting Somalia and its army. Why not mention them at all?
Unlike Iraq and Afghanistan … Somalis are fighting for there countries freedom from terrorism #VivaLaSomalia🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
Do toy rememember Helicopter down? The Somalia conflict and USA support last over 20 years.
Get tf outta Africa don’t start this… this ain’t the Arabs they tryna basically do what they did in the Middle East destabilization everywhere they go
Salute to General Qasim Soleimani. He was true Man and blessings for whole humanity on earth. usa killed him in support of their terrorist organization isis.
US going around the world encouraging women to join the military to overthrow their culture’s Islam tradition and then wonders why those countries are unstable and hates the US
” is the world doing enough to help the Somali people?”
“No”
Roll credits
The west is what makes africa poor and unstable
I,wish Somali,s were. not double standard!! They work on both sides. It’s had to trust them.
American is playing both sides. Never trust uncle SAM and his minions 😂
So they are driving the Al shabab into Kenya in the name of ‘fighting the militants’.
Remember kids…If you are against US interested or say no to there demand, YOU ARE THE BIGG T
GOD BLESSES SOMALIA SOLDIERS.
same as wagner?!?!?1 lol
America only thrives in propaganda. 😂😂😂
Kenya is in the forefront but US will claim they are the main players…shame to America 😂😂
You get some weapons! YOU get some weapons!! *EVERYBODY GETS SOME WEAPONS!!!* 🇺🇸
Someone is supplying them.
The way they plug it is sneaky. Let’s see how big this goes.
It’s fines, the US meant the world for them.
