Cadnaan1,
I did not see that video.
If that is the case, then Al-shabaab is targeting Mr. Deni and Puntland again. The South West boys are now probably the majority of the foot soldiers of Al-shabaab.
The ideological leaders of Al-shabaab are mostly D block and Dir (mostly northern D...r), the financiers are mainly HAG and foot soldiers are mainly South West. The Al-shabaab INc. company is an equal opportunity company that mostly hires those who are disadvantaged in the corrupt Somali system.
Insiders are always telling us that joining Al-shabaab is a big step for young unemployed boys. Villages and towns like them in different ways.As soon as they take over a town they quickly marry all the available bachelorettes of the town. The boys next door or those who supposed to marry these girls are probably chewing Qat. So, the whole town would be in wedding mood as soon as these insurgents show up.
The father in law and the family usually appreciates these young men who are marrying these girls who were waiting for real men for years. Also, those who are poor or hailed from families that the Somali Geeljire looks down would marry the girl and take care of business. They also get paid on time always.
Kuwana waxay i dhaheen reer hebel gabadhan ma guursan karaan, Al-shabaabna waxay igu dareen gabar, ka dibna coomander way iga dhigeen. If some of the guys dies in these battles , the next guy will marry and take care of the family. In Al-shabaab controlled territory there are no single, widowed or divorced women.
Do you think a corrupt Somali soldier who steals and takes bribes would defeat these guys?. The most successful force that eliminated Al-shabaab were the PIS commanded by a man called general Dayaano who was proactive because his men were paid well.
Then again why send someone all the way from Bay? is Roobow in action?
