DEVELOPING: Trump's "Garbage" Comment Sparks Outrage in Somalia

Breaking News: Trump's "Garbage" Comment Sparks Outrage in Somalia President Trump has sparked widespread outrage in Somalia after calling the country's citizens "garbage" in a recent statement. The comments, made on the heels of a deadly attack on two National Guard members by an Afghan national, have been met with disappointment and anger from Somali leaders and citizens alike. Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat, has hit back at Trump's comments, calling them "vile." Omar pointed out that Somali Americans make significant contributions to the US, and that Trump's remarks are a slap in the face to the community. Somalia has been plagued by clan-based conflict for decades and is currently fighting the Islamist insurgent group al-Shabab. The country collapsed into anarchy after the overthrow of the military regime of President Siad Barre in 1991, leading to the displacement of millions of Somalis worldwide. The Somali government has yet to respond to Trump's comments, but sources close to the government indicate that they are considering a formal statement. The US Embassy in Somalia has also issued a statement urging calm and calling for dialogue. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
