mentions Somali , and people's first impression must be Somali pirates and the US military's Black Hawk Down incident. As countries sent escort fleets, rampant piracy in Somalia was curbed, but in fact the chaos in Somalia continued. Just now, Somalia once again became the focus of global attention. According to Reuters , on October 29, local time, a large explosion occurred near the Somalia Ministry of Education building in Mogadishu , the capital of Somalia. Officials from Somalia's security department said the explosion was caused by two car bombs, which killed more than 100 people, including Ministry of Education staff, and injured more than 300 people, and a Reuters reporter may also be injured in the explosion. As the Somalian government is in chaos, there are still no detailed casualties data as of press time. No organization or individual has declared responsibility for the terrorist attack yet.
In recent weeks, explosions have occurred frequently in Somalia. On October 3, a car explosion occurred in BlackRoyven City in central Somalia, killing ten people. The extremist organization " Somali Al Shabaab " announced its responsibility for the attack; on October 23, a car filled with explosives rushed into a hotel in the Somali port city of Kismayoo, killing thirteen people and injuring forty-seven people. The "Somali Al Shabaab" announced its responsibility for the attack. If we trace further, on March 23 this year, two explosions occurred in the Somalia town of BlackRodwin overnight, killing 48 people and injuring 108 people. The culprit of planning the attack was also the "Somali Al Shabaab". Although no organizations or individuals have announced their responsibility for the attack so far, considering that most of the car bomb attacks in Somalia in recent years have been committed by "Al Shabaab", all parties have turned their skeptical eyes to this notorious terrorist organization that has been entrenched in Somalia for many years.
1991 After the fall of the Somalia government, the country fell into a melee. Although the central government of the Federal Republic of Somalia was barely established with the help of the United Nations, the actual control area of โโthis government is only part of the capital Mogadishu, and the rest are in the hands of various warlords. Seeing that the central government is so weak, extremist religious forces have developed rapidly in Somalia. In 2006, the extremist religious organization "Islamic Court Alliance" conquered most of the southern and central Somalia, and there was a tendency to unify the entire Somalia. In addition, the Islamic Court Alliance also contacted Al Qaeda and invited the organization to train its soldiers, while also launching terrorist attacks in neighboring countries. In 2006, neighboring country Ethiopia believed that if extremist religious forces were allowed to unify Somalia, it would have a serious negative impact on its own country. Therefore, with the support of the United States, troops entered Somalia to crack down on extremist religious forces.
Under the attack of the Egyptian army, the "Islamic Court Alliance" retreated step by step and soon split. The young and powerful officers formed the "Somali Al Shabaab" and began independent action. Because its personnel are mainly young officers, the "Somali Al Shabaab" acts decisively and cruelly, so it develops extremely rapidly. In 2010, the area controlled by the "Al Shabaab" exceeded that of the "Islamic Court Alliance" and even controlled most of the capital Mogadishu for a time. In 2009, it also swore allegiance to al-Qaeda. Since then, the power of the "Al Shabaab" has reached its peak. At the same time, the "Al Shabaab" also frequently launched terrorist attacks in neighboring countries. For example, in June 2010, the "Al Shabaab" carried out suicide bombings on the Uganda gymnasium, killing more than 150 civilians who were watching the game; in 2012, the Kenyan police also stated that the "Al Shabaab" frequently entered Kenya to launch terrorist attacks, killing at least 30 Kenyan civilians.
The power of "Al Shabaab" is becoming increasingly powerful, which makes neighboring countries unbearable.In 2011, under the authorization of the African Union, Kenya, Esarbia and other countries formed a joint force to enter Somalia to clear out the "Al Shabaab". Although the "Al Shabaab" is cruel and fierce, the combat effectiveness of its armed forces is still incomparable to the regular army of other countries. Therefore, it began to retreat step by step and lose many big cities in succession. However, the "Al Shabaab" quickly adjusted its tactics and tactics and fully moved into rural areas, and launched terrorist attacks on cities and transportation lines with the vast majority of rural areas as the base. Due to the limitations of technical level, the coalition forces of the multinationals were unable to go deep into the countryside to completely wipe out the "Yao Shabaab", and the "Yao Shabaab" was unable to seize the big cities, so the two sides formed a balance of power.
However, this year, this balance of power seems to be broken. Affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, international food prices have soared, and many African countries have experienced food crises of varying degrees. Under such circumstances, many desperate people put their hopes on religion, which gives the opportunity to develop extreme religious forces represented by the "Somali Al Shabaab". In just one month, the "Al Shabaab" created three large-scale explosions in Somalia, which shows that its strength has been restored considerably. If the food crisis cannot be lifted as soon as possible, the energy of these extreme terrorist organizations may be expanded.
