#AQAP
Had family members that were convinced aqap was going to attack bumbfuck pennslyvania because “think about it it’s defenseless”
If you’re too young to remember 9/11, one of the things about the subsequent 3-4 years if if you lived by The World’s Biggest Fork, people would be like “we need to be careful, that fork could be a target, terrorists hate our fork”

It's 2025. Al-Qaeda is conquering West Africa. Al-Qaeda is conquering East Africa.
They coordinate between themselves, AQAP, other affiliates and AQ Central.
And I don't see any particular attention to it while those things are happening. And it makes me completely disillusioned.

also related, that aqap had to put out a statement saying they did 9/11 again cause khamenei kept saying bush did it

I've had death threats from: Neo-Nazis on Twitter, al Qaeda In the Arabian Penninsula (AQAP), Kahanists, and people angry I banned them from my neighbourhood Facebook group.
I got death threats for writing about heavy metal bands that happened to have women in them. These wealthy politicians need to grow up

Another example of conflating everything in the ME like it's some version of an AQ offshoot (in this instance specifically conflating them with AQAP in the popular mindset I suspect)

AQAP Vows to Target Chinese Interests on "Land and Sea”, Plus a Brief History of AQ’s Hostilities Toward China
AQAP’s latest statement fits into a broader trend of Al‑Qaeda branches adopting increasingly hostile rhetoric and kinetic action against Chinese interests, even when Uyghurs or Xinjiang are not explic...

Just to show you something.
US this year has bombed:
-Islamic State in Syria and Iraq
-Islamic State in Somalia
-ISKP in Afghanistan
-Al-Qaeda in Somalia
-Houthis and AQAP in Yemen
-Iranian nuclear facilities
There is so much going on at the same time, while people have no idea.

Zulme uğradığını söyleyenin eline fırsat geçerse en zalim o olur. Bakınız aqap farkı yok bence

Kimsenin eşit şartlara sahip olmak istediği filan yok. Güç istiyor, ezmek için tabii ki
Eşitlik taleplerinin gerçekten samimi olduğu yıllar vardı. Azınlıklar, ırklar ve cinsiyetler bağlamında. Ve bunun mücadelesi de verildi. Sonradan anlaşıldı ki hedef hiç bir zaman eşit olmak değilmiş. Konu hep “aslında biz üstünüz, siz b*ksunuz”la sonuçlandı

* Yemen strikes include the 1,000+ targets struck that DOD announced during its March-May Operation Rough Rider against the Houthis, plus 4 possible unacknowledged (likely CIA) strikes against AQAP deemed plausibly credible by @davidsterman.bsky.social of New America
bsky.app/profile/wesl...
Update on this: DOD spokesman Parnell has now said that CENTCOM has struck "over 1,000 targets" in Yemen since March 15.

If that's true, CENTCOM has actually been averaging closer to 22 targets per day in Yemen than 18—about as many as the US was striking across Iraq and Syria combined in 2015-16.
Corrected: First numbers from CENTCOM about the Yemen bombing campaign since the initial weekend in mid-March. They’ve been averaging 18 targets per day.

That’s a lot. At the height of the air war against ISIS in 2017, CENTCOM was striking ~45 targets per day. For much of 2016, it was ~25 per day.

mon mentions him killing pows and targeting civilians, this is a (dark) reference to isis and aqap executions that put prisoners in orange jump suits before they beheaded them or burned them in reference to gitmo jumpsuits

Al Qaeda are low key the master of stepping on rakes.

Every “powerful” jihadi group of the last 20 years (AQAP, ISIS, AQIM etc) was started by some dickhead who was like “fuck these AQ pussies.”

The U.S. government hasn’t claimed responsibility for an airstrike against AQAP in Yemen since 2020.
But the U.S. may still be targeting the al Qaeda branch, David Sterman writes. He argues that transparency is necessary for oversight and accountability.

Is the U.S. Conducting Air Strikes Against Al Qaeda in Yemen?
Reports suggest renewed U.S. drone strikes in Yemen against AQAP despite official denials, raising transparency and accountability questions.

It's messy bc at that time you had 4 different US lines of effort in Yemen:
- white world CENTCOM support to the Saudi coalition
- SOF (SOCCENT+JSOC) counter-Houthi stuff
- JSOC counter-AQAP
- CIA T50 'stuff' (CT/anti-AQAP and maybe counter-Houthi stuff too)

i had the opposite once, my first house was built by a builder for him to live in with his family and no intention to rent it out, and it was *immaculate*. Every finishing was perfect, every choice was The Right One.

DIY and those grey “wood” floorboards should make you run away AQAP
Our house was previously owned by Do-It-Yourselfers, and I now have a new thing to ask about when house-hunting in the future, because never again do I want to own a home previously owned by DIY enthusiasts.

It's kinda wild when you think that even separate from the recent bombing campaign the US has pretty consistently conducted a drone strike on alleged AQAP militants in Yemen at least once every six months or so for like, two decades
Ho hum, still bombing Somalia.

Occasional reminder that ever U.S. President since George H.W. Bush has used military force in Somalia.
Another US airstrike in Somalia. As in the recent past, no notice by AFRICOM on Twitter, but just on their website.

Apparently DOJ under Trump 2.0 can't keep its terrorists straight. Minh Quang Pham has no tie to MA. He's from the UK (and before that Vietnam).

I will say there have likely been US drone strikes in Yemen since 2020

They've gotten a lot more hush hush about it, but the US still maintains a presence in Yemen for counterterrorism operations against AQAP, and probably once every 6 months there's an unattributed strike that kills an AQAP leader
This is Yemen.
And what you can see from this is how dramatically these strikes have gone down in recent years.
