    Not familiar with the word irredentism, is that a threat to us?

    It means to reclaim lost territories. As for whether the concept is a threat to you depends on how willing Native Americans or the Spanish are to retake Florida I suppose.

    So in other words, people in Mogadishu pose no threat, unless they go all jihadi immigrant?

    Depends on whether they come in as refugees. Holyoake Massachusetts is fulled to the brim with them. In addition, its location makes Somalia a perpetual point of contention and danger for the US and her troops

    You must be referring to the Battle of Mogadishu. The one where Clinton ignored his generals on the ground, stripped the men of air support and got 19 Americans killed in the process.
    That isn't "help". That's an incompetence in leadership.

    Death Toll Tops 300 From Mogadishu Blast...

    Death Toll Tops 300 From Mogadishu Blast
    October 16, 2017 - The death toll in the Somali capital Mogadishu has topped 300 as rescue teams continue to search for survivors from a massive explosion blamed on Islamist militants.
    Dr. Abdulkadir Adam, head of Mogadishu ambulance services, tells VOA Somali that 302 people are confirmed dead from the blast, which struck a busy intersection in the Somali capital late Saturday. The government says 429 injured people have been taken to local hospitals, and that the death toll is likely to rise. More than 30 badly wounded patients were flown to Turkey on Monday for treatment, including VOA Somali reporter Abdulkadir Mohamed Abdulle.


    Former al-Shabab deputy emir Mukhtar Robow is seen giving blood in a Mogadishu hospital

    There has been no claim of responsibility but Somali government officials and terrorism experts strongly believe that al-Shabab militants were behind the explosion. "Whether they claim or not claim makes no difference, we know the act that has happened, it’s al-Shabab," former intelligence officer Abdi Hassan Hussein told VOA. "The information we are getting so far shows this is the work of al-Shabab, it has their hallmarks." The group has stayed silent since the blast but has killed hundreds of people in recent years through attacks on Mogadishu hotels, restaurants and other public areas.

    Former al-Shabab leader condemns attack

    Monday, a former top leader of al-Shabab condemned the explosion. Mukhtar Robow, al-Shabab's former deputy emir, called the attack "barbaric" and "a massive tragedy." "Those who are behind this, whose fingerprints are on this, must refrain from shedding the blood of Muslims and repent. You are not going to go to paradise by killing innocents," he told reporters. "People who are doing this must stop. ... I mean al-Shabab," he said.

    Robow, who recently defected to the government, was a founder of al-Shabab and the number-two leader of the group as it fought the government and African Union forces for control of Mogadishu between 2007 and 2011. During that time, the group carried out several deadly suicide attacks on Mogadishu hotels, most notably a 2010 attack on the Hotel Muna that killed 33 people, including six members of parliament.
