Update: 2022-06-22

Description

Fighting Al-Shabaab, losing US soldiers, living in an Embassy bunker and managing the Trump Administration's abrupt order to pull out US troops. National War College classmates, General Waldhauser (former Commander US AFRICOM) and Ambassador Yamamoto (US Ambassador to Somalia) describe how they partnered to 1) build a new Somali national army to fight Al-Shabaab; 2) relieve massive poverty and famine; and 3) juggle clan divisions/clashes to create a new national government.
