Trump Administration Destroying Civilians

The Number of Civilians Trump has Killed Since Taking Office is Astounding

The Trump Administration is devastating the international community and causing an anti-America rhetoric around the world. Our new leader of the free world, who, to the devastation millions of people, lacks any military or political experience, is certainly holding true to his promise to, "bomb the shit out of them" with the "them" turning out to be much more than just ISIS.

While the Obama Administration was certainly not innocent in regards to killing civilians or perpetuating the war that President Bush started, President Trump is taking matters to a new extreme. Not only is Trump continuing the legacy of the United States deciding that it is okay to ignore the sovereignty of other nations in order to kill anyone they deem as a terrorist (or anyone that happens who be nearby), but he is killing civilians at record-breaking speed. 

Just two short months into office Donald Trump has managed to kill hundreds of civilians in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq, perpetuating the ongoing devastation in those countries and giving fuel to ISIS. 

While Trump's most avid supporters will continue to stand behind him until the day he gets impeached, regardless of how many innocent lives he takes or how much of the world he offends and turns against America, one thing that is certain: his approval rating is at an all-time low of 36 percent and will continue to drop. 

Drought in Africa Increasing - Somalia is Hit Hard

Somalia is in Shambles Amid Drought

Several countries in Africa are going through a devastating drought. Despite the strides made by its newly democratically elected president, Somalia is being hit the hardest of all. In this country of less than 13 million, 6.2 million are in danger of starvation. 

As families are struggling to relocate to areas with clean water or a food supply, their children and elderly are dying during the trek. This situation has been declared a national disaster, but with so many dying and millions on the verge of death, starvation, and malnourishment, this national disaster is deserving of international attention. 

The current aid agencies in Somalia are overwhelmed by the amount of people rushing into the capital in search of food or water. 

The United Nations and the World Food Program are both appealing for millions of dollars in humanitarian aid and assistance, but the problem is here and time is of the essence. 

Somalia has already seen mass casualties from famines and droughts in past years. The internationally community cannot stand by and continue to let this happen time and time again. It's time to take a stand and take back Somalia. 

International agencies need to come together not only to improve the current conditions, but also to improve future conditions. We are no longer a world of isolated nations, but one interdependent web of humans, and taking care of each other is part of our moral duty.
