With CIA you never know which or if they are running both sides. CIA-led practicaly implys boots on the ground


After the Al-Shabaab attack on Godka Jilow, Somalia’s official state-run news agency reported that the Gaashaan unit, an elite commando unit of the NISA had “neutralized all seven attackers” and “secured the entire area” ending the underground prison siege.

Gaashaan, which translates to “shield,” is a CIA-led and trained special force tasked with combatting Al-Shabaab, particularly in Mogadishu. They are known to accompany CIA paramilitary units in joint operations, according to a 2021 report.

Seven khat-chewing skinnies in camo counts as a "siege" and takes an "elite commando unit that regularly operates with the CIA" to whack them?

Oof. Big oof, even.

That is just the official nothing to see here line , unofficially bunch of convicts escaped , so who knows which seven bodies wearing Somali army uniforms they counted as killed terrorists

As for ''Elite Commando'' you have to take that with Somali grain of Salt - it seems they all get to wear sunshades and use some hand me down surplus from the 80's probably paid by US taxpayer as if they were all equipped with the latest and greatest in high speed low drag gear. I am pretty certain when it matters western troops run the show
