Loving the mobilisation of local communities against terror group Al Shabaab in Somalia. The more defeats they suffer, the less influence they wield.
Important to also hunt down their financiers/sympathisers in the business world AND political & security apparatus.
In a new statement issued by Al Shabab’s spokesman Ali Dheere, the terrorist group lamente that @TheVillaSomalia is arming local clans to weaken the group.
Statement identical to ongoing narrative by supporters of @M_Farmaajo & indicates close messaging coordination btwn both
Al-Shabaab threatens Somali clans supporting the federal govt with violence. The threat came from Al-Shabaab spokesman Ali Dhere who spoke at the graduation of militant fighters. On Sunday the federal govt reported operations killed 200+ militants, recovered nearly 30 localities.
@Siad_A@US2SOMALIA who cares for federalism? or political optics! All we care about now is @HassanSMohamud to assist locals on exterminating AS from Somalia! We will deal with federalism and fake 4.5 somalinimo later!
If @HassanSMohamud is serious about waging war against Alshabaab ideology why does terrorist Dahir Aweys still have access to Youtube or any media outlet while he is under house arrest?
MP Malik Abdalla leads the charge in the fight against Al Shabaab in the Southern Front (Bulo Burte & Jalalaqsi). The MPs representing Hiiraan could have spent their parliamentary break sipping latte in Lido! Instead, they chose to lead their people in the struggle against AS! 🇸🇴
It’s not a hyperbole to say that Somalia has made more counterterrorism gains the last 5-weeks — whether in terms of ground liberated, political/ideological momentum — than the entire 5-years of @M_Farmaajo’s disastrous rule.
Let that sink in.
Honored to welcome President @HassanSMohamud to the IMF. #Somalia has maintained macroeconomic stability and a reform momentum despite challenges. We strongly support 🇸🇴 as it moves toward the #HIPC Completion Point, and boosts resilience and inclusive growth.
Great to see @HassanSMohamud with @UnderSecStateP in Washington to discuss shared stabilization, good governance, and humanitarian goals. The United States is committed to helping the people of Somalia counter terrorism, prevent famine, advance democracy, and save lives.
Pleased to host Somali President Hassan Sheikh with Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall today at the White House to reinforce the close partnership between the United States and Somalia. Thank you @HassanSMohamud for your leadership in the fight against terrorism.
@AbdiwahabSheik7 If he has committed a crime against you, the court & justice are ready for you, you have every right to use the justice system, but you do not have the right to defame him on social media.
You're grown ass man, you're adeer & awoowe so grow up and stop being a teenager on TikTok.
Alshbb also sent delegates to clan elders by making promises that the group will stop killing civilians, burning villages & burying wells.
They also promise that they will bring justice to those responsible & want to pay compensations. The elders turned down the group’s offer
This is Elmi Muhumad Barre. He is a Traditional Elder in Hiiraan, normally helping resolve disputes under the shade of a tree. After Al Shabaab destroyed & poisoned wells, and massacred women & children, he is leading the charge in protecting and liberating his people!
Somalia's heroes.
Ma'wisley - ordinary rural folk fed up with Al-Shabaab and fighting back with great success. They have reclaimed over 20 towns in recent weeks.
Women in Beledweyne prepare local food and milk for the frontline troops fighting the Al Shabaab. This kind of traditional support from the women in war times is the clearest indication that the fight against the Al Shabaab is finally serious, and that their days are numbered.
