Title: Truck bombing in Mogadishu Post by: NewYorkExpress on October 15, 2017, 12:12:18 PM http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-41621660 (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-41621660)
Quote A massive bomb attack in a busy area of the Somali capital Mogadishu on Saturday is now known to have killed at least 230 people, police say. Hundreds more were wounded when a lorry packed with explosives detonated near the entrance of a hotel. It is the deadliest terror attack in Somalia since the Islamist al-Shabab group launched its insurgency in 2007. It is not clear who staged the bombing, but Mogadishu is a target for al-Shabab militants battling the government.

Weep for the West, Who Cares About the Rest amirite? People are more emotionally impacted by tragedies that occur in culturally similar and safe countries. There's nothing wrong with that, and it doesn't mean we don't care about those who are not as fortunate to live in such safe and prosperous countries.
