I don't really know what to say about this article because it if so confusing. Why would Al Qaeda help starving people in Somalia if the group is known for its horrible terrorist acts? If this was Al Qaeda then why was the man completely white and spoke fluent English? I think it must have been someone that was faking it. but why would someone pretend to be from Al Qaeda? It doesn't make sense if it was AL Qaeda or if it wasn't. Some other people accuse of it being Al Qaeda and that they were doing this in order to recruit young people to join them in whatever they are planning to do. To me that sounds like the most realistic thing because Al Qaeda would do something as horrible as that. I still don’t get why they are helping with the famine when all they've been doing is destroying peoples life.
Al Qaeda is helping these people because they've realized that focusing simply on death and destruction doesn't get them as many followers as they hoped for. As for the white person, that can be explained simply by the fact that Al Qaeda has publicly reached out and asked for American members. Some people are apparently stupid enough to join them. If it wasn't an American than it very well could have been some European person. Al Qaeda isn't limited to the Middle East. Al Qaeda's leaders are trying to establish entire lands under their control. They see Somalia as an opportunity to completely take that land over since it's having such a hard time surviving. They're vulnerable and they're about to get taken advantage of.
