SS: As USAID funding evaporates under Trump’s „America First“ cuts—slashing 6,000 health jobs and jeopardizing 2,000 facilities—Somalia’s crumbling hospitals like Mogadishu’s Banadir and De Martino expose the fragility of donor-dependent aid in a nation laser-focused on Mohamud’s „total war“ against al-Shabaab. With diphtheria surging in rural areas amid militant threats deterring vaccinations, and a meager $91M health budget dwarfed by security spending, this neglect risks amplifying insurgent recruitment and regional instability in the Horn of Africa. Does the West’s retreat—echoing post-1991 chaos—cede ground to Turkish influence or AU peacekeepers, or force Mogadishu toward self-reliance in a multipolar aid landscape where health is the new front in counter-extremism?

Yeah well „Trump cuts US aid“ doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily as „Genocide Joe“ so naturally college students don’t care about this.
