U.S. Africa Command Releases Civilian Casualty Assessment Report

In the latest quarterly civilian casualty assessment report period ending Mar. 31, 2021, U.S. Africa Command received two new reports of civilian casualties and closed out two of three open cases. This is the fifth quarterly civilian casualty assessment report since U.S. Africa Command began releasing reports in April 2020 as part of its commitment to increased transparency and accountability.

During the quarter, the command completed two assessments of reports of civilian casualties. One assessment remains open and under review. In addition, the command conducted a roundtable discussion with seven Non-Government Organizations (NGO) to discuss civilian casualty processes.

“It is important that we maintain transparency of our civilian casualty reporting processes,” said U.S. Army Gen. Stephen Townsend, commander, U.S. Africa Command. “We will continue to refine our processes to ensure our partners and the public recognize our commitment to minimizing civilian casualties whenever possible.”

The command continues to look for ways to increase transparency and consider other viewpoints on our processes.

“U.S. Africa Command appreciates the opportunity to engage in frank and honest discussions with Non-Governmental Organizations,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Christopher Karns, director, U.S. Africa Command Public Affairs. “These engagements provide U.S. Africa Command opportunities to increase our ability to mitigate civilian casualties and build increased understanding of the purpose of our operations where we can.”

Continuing to apply pressure on the al-Shabaab network using a variety of means remains important to Somali and U.S. security interests.

“Al-Shabaab has carried out deadly suicide and terror attacks in Somalia including recent attacks targeting Danab leadership as well as recent bombing campaigns that have displaced thousands of Somali civilians,” said Townsend. “We will continue to support our partners and disrupt al-Shabaab’s efforts.”
