Bombs astray

摘要

America has conducted 108 air strikes in Somalia since 2017, killing some 800 people. The Pentagon says they were all ji-hadists. Amnesty International, a human rights organisation, disagrees. It has gathered detailed evidence suggesting that five recent strikes alone killed 14 civilians. That discrepancy between the civilians that external observers say have been killed in American air strikes and the number the government owns up to is repeated across the world.
