Biden's failure to stop this is a disaster for the safety of people all over the Middle East, including Israelis. It's a disaster for the security of US forces in the region.

The US, China and UK were among the countries in the UN Security Council that reiterated their support for Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity during Monday’s meeting at the UN.

The UK deputy representative James Kariuki also took similar line.
“As we have said previously, the UK reaffirms its support for Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he said.

“We recognise that the strong feelings in Somalia are putting pressure on the Government to respond, and we encourage the President to remain measured in his response,” she said.
“This situation must be resolved through constructive dialogue. In that regard, it is disappointing that no significant progress was made at the recent Africa Union summit.”
