The Counterinsurgency Dilemma was by far my most challenging book to write. I am excited to give my first talk on it and celebrate its release next Monday, April 27 at 6:30pm at @Studio_Theatre!

Politico reports “many people who were pushed out were considered high performers or had specialized skills like speaking multiple difficult languages. That may be because the layoffs appeared partly based on which office the staffer was in, as opposed to skills or work history”

HAPPENING NOW!!  Moving scene - tears, hugs, and cheers - inside the State Dept HQ tonight, as diplomats gathered in the lobby to clap out their laid off colleague, some of which have served for decades 👇🏻

@ralakbar Thank you for posting this and for humanizing these admirable public servants, who have been so unjustly demonized and disregarded.

“Al-Shabaab is no longer just a terror group launching sporadic attacks; it is capturing strategic towns, creeping ever closer to the capital…” addisstandard.com/from-insurgenc…

If al-Shabaab takes over, this won’t be a *former* al-Qaida affiliate, like HTS. Or a jihadist group without external ambitions, like the Taliban. It will be a current al-Qaida affiliate with a track record of regional attacks and even plotting against the U.S 3/3

The freeze of US assistance undermines the most effective anti-Shabaab force as the humanitarian situation worsens without USAID. On top of that, the African Union force is arguably weaker than anytime since its inception. A few airstrikes won’t change this trajectory. 2/3

The situation in Somalia is flashing red. Al-Shabaab is escalating its attacks and encircling Mogadishu while the federal government & federal member states focus on their political differences. 1/3
