Why has the Trump administration dramatically increased US strikes on Somalia?

Since returning to office 20 months ago, US President Donald Trump has authorised more than 200 air strikes against positions linked to Al Shabab and Daesh-affiliated groups. That is four times the number ordered by President Biden during his entire term in office. What is driving the escalation of the US military campaign in Somalia? And are these strikes eliminating terrorists, or putting innocent civilians at greater risk?
