Continued……So, it’s no surprise Miller dodged questions that, if answered, could implicate Israel as well as the US in the destruction of Gaza and casualties ranging from more than 40,000, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, to as much as 186,000 as of early July, according to a Lancet medical-journal report.
In July, the International Court of Justice ruled the Israeli occupation unlawful, ordered the evacuation of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, called for reparations to Palestinians, and said states are not obligated to not recognise the occupation.

The 32nd U.S President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, famously said: ‘Judge me by the enemies I have made.’
We are not fans of Roosevelt, or any U.S president for that matter, but it is a good quote and one we couldn’t agree with more.

Continued….. So, when U.S-state funded Voice of America (VOA) wrote a smear piece attacking African Stream noscriptd: “African Stream distorts U.S. military’s mission in Somalia” we took it as a great compliment that our work is touching the right buttons and getting the attention of media outlets who receive funding from the world’s greatest super power. Voice of America might as well be called Voice of the U.S government as it is funded by Global Media (USAGM), which gets its funding directly from the US Congress. It was also founded directly by former US President, Gerald Ford.

Continued…. Their piece had an issue with our claim that: “It is now a bipartisan tradition for each new US president, whether Republican or Democrat, to rain drone bombs down on the East African country in which millions of civilians are simply struggling to survive,” claiming “that is false.” In typical fashion, they never explained what was false about what we said and nowhere in the VOA article do they deny the last four US presidents - namely, George W. Bush (Republican), Barack Hussein Obama (Democrat), Donald J. Trump (Republican), and Joe Biden (Democrat) - oversaw the continued and sustained drone bombing of Somalia.

We were not given a chance to respond to their accusation that we were “distorting the role of the U.S military in Somalia.” So, in the spirit of transparency we’re laying everything out here: the real facts about Washington’s role in Somalia’s unending insecurity crisis, the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) and some hard truths about the so-called ‘war on terror’ in Africa. Swipe through and let us know your thoughts.
