Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for 2 SVBIED attacks on a Ugandan AMISOM base at the Baraawe airport, Lower Shabelle, "opening the month of Ramadan"; Image
Al-Shabab claimed it inflicted significant, but an unspecified number, of casualties while AMISOM claimed it "repulsed" the attack (re: ).
Garowe News, citing local officials, reported that one of the SVBIEDs detonated near the airport and the other inside the base, the latter causing "devastating destruction": garoweonline.com/en/news/somali…

My new article, "Addressing the Enemy: Al-Shabaab’s PSYOPS Media Warfare" in the @CTCWP Sentinel looking at 6 cases of the Somali jihadi-insurgent group's psychological warfare & information and influence operations:

ctc.usma.edu/addressing-ene…
The case studies examined: (1) January 2020 Manda Bay airfield attack (2) 2010 Mogadishu stalemate & start of Al-Shabab's "jihadi journalism" (3) 2011 Dayniile ambush (4) 2014 Mpeketoni raids (5) Kenya's 2017 general elections (6) 2019 mass shootings & natural disasters in U.S.
In addition to examining specifics of each case, I look at how Al-Shabab attempts to broaden the reach of its PSYOPS propaganda products by attracting attention from external news media. Sometimes successful, its success rate is also mixed.
