Stopped clock or something more nefarious from the honourable Congresswoman representing Minneapolis and the Muslim Brotherhood? [Garowe] Congresswoman Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
, who represents Minnesota's 5th district and was born in Somalia, has taken a public stance on the presence of U.S. troops in Somalia. During a recent congressional debate, Rep. Omar argued in favor of withdrawing American forces from the African nation, asserting that the Somali government should lead the nation-building process.
In her remarks, Rep. Omar expressed her belief that the U.S. military presence in Somalia is not essential to the country's efforts to establish national unity among its various clans. She emphasized the importance of empowering the Somali government to take responsibility for its security and stability rather than relying on foreign intervention.
Congresswoman Omar's position highlights the broader debate surrounding American involvement in Africa, particularly in countries grappling with terrorism and political instability. In the case of Somalia, the U.S. currently has around 900 troops stationed in the country to support local forces in their fight against the bully boy group al-Shabaab

The debate also underscores the ongoing discussion about the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), passed in 2001, which has since been used to justify U.S. military interventions worldwide. Opponents of the AUMF argue that it has become a "global permission slip" for American involvement in conflicts that are not directly related to national security.
Although concerns about the potential risks of withdrawing U.S. troops from Somalia have been raised, Rep. Omar voted in favor of a resolution calling for the withdrawal of American forces. However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
the House ultimately defeated the measure, offered by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), by 102-321.
The outcome of the vote indicates that a majority of politicians do not support the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Somalia. As a result, the future of American involvement in the African nation remains uncertain. Nonetheless, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's stance on the issue has sparked a broader conversation about U.S. foreign policy in Africa and the role of military intervention in fostering stability on the continent.
