Al Shabaab, which might be the most successful al Qaeda franchise, is getting ready to do some serious work in Somalia and Kenya. This is a video from a year ago before they attacked an upscale hotel...in the Westlands district of Nairobi. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nairobi_D…

Stupidly and perhaps with some sense of malice, Trump has publicly announced that he is removing all U.S troops from Somalia and shipping them to.....Kenya. I know General BoneSpurs said he would never tell the enemy what we were doing but he did. nytimes.com/2020/12/04/wor…
Also, a year ago. Al Shabaab attacked Manda Bay killing contractors. Yes we lost a CIA officer in Somalia but we have lost more Americans in Kenya. Also the move and timing are now globally known. Having done convoys in Somalia. It will not turn out well. theintercept.com/2020/02/27/afr…
Trump has flushed out a very large Africom budget to remove troops which then allows the CIA to contract drone, ISR, aviation, medevac and security with Title 50 money without bids or Biden oversight. This structure is what Erik Prince proposed in his Afghan proposal. 
Despite what Scahill said back in 2014 the CIA sites are not secret. Many are colocated with DOD support. I used to sprint past the dummy the guards had set up in front of the "secret" prison to get to Villa Somalia every morning. thenation.com/article/archiv…
This Frankenstein Exit Strategy will roll out in January 2020 and dovetails with Trump's need to push warfare as a "for profit" venture to political donors. It truly is the culmination of Erik's many op eds and pitches. Oh but where's Erik? He has used proxies as he always has.
