MOGADISHU — US assassination drone strikes have claimed the lives of at least 29 people in eastern Somalia, Dozens more have been injured in the attacks in the eastern town of Balad.

The attacks reportedly destroyed at least three al-Shabab militant bases. This comes a day after African Union and Somali troops captured Balad.

US assassination drones attacked the militants’ Harweyne training base in Elasha Biyaha on the outskirts of Mogadishu on Friday, leaving at least 39 dead.

Washington has carried out assassination attacks using the unmanned aircraft in other countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, and Yemen.

The United States claims the CIA-run strikes are aimed at militants. But witness reports and figures offered by local authorities indicate the attacks are taking a heavy toll on civilians.

The United Nations has also condemned the drone strikes, saying they pose a challenge to international law.

The weak Western-backed transitional government in Mogadishu has been battling al-Shabab for the past five years and is propped up by a 12,000-strong AU force from Uganda, Burundi, and Djibouti.

  of course civilians have been killed, they always target civilians because they are at war with muslims. Lol, this is not a lie the US have admited that they have been been killing muslims both in Somalia as well as Yemen but they did not say how. They dont need to though, as it is obvious how these white cowards murder our muslim brethrens.

  The Ummah is divided, and until we put our ethnic, tribal, and cultural differences aside, and unite as ONE Ummah, they will continue killing us.
