PL collects around 72 million dollars from tax, while JL collects about 20 million. It is almost non existent in other FMS.

Just like the drug cartels of Mexico cannot be eliminated b/c they are so entrenched in the system. Some police stations double as frontshop for drug cartel in some cities in Mexico.

The same way Alshabab has entrenched itself into the fabric of South Somalia.

Good on alshabaab that they are more competent then the paper govt in the bunker 

[Dhagaxtuur]

Shabab have the best tax avoidance laws in the world: death

Another foreign-dominated 'institute.' Soomaaliya has been a cash cow to many of these 'intellectual' mercenaries in the last three decades. Rashiid Cabdi iyo tuugii kale wanted Canadian ahaa ka koow yihiin.

So who are Hiraal's board 'advisors?'

Trader says almost every known business man in Bosaso pays tax to Terrorists groups.

Jamal Osman goes into Alshabab territory - They collect more tax than any other FMS in Ex-Italian Somalia.

Bad day for terrorists everywhere.

I see Hassan celebrating this as well. Are we celebrating a local Melissia fighting back? Is more likely leaders of all involved are all same locals. The picture of this guy from Bakool is misgiving. Where are the two others captured?

 Last time Hassan had initial success when he nationalized and armed central regions' clan militia instead of continuing where shariif Ahmed left. Guutada koowaad halqabiil, Guutada labaad qabiil kale. For example Guutada 12 which operated shabeelada hoose was exclusively Mahad Salaad's clan and they were abusing the locals. He did stop paying them and they ended up road blockers and clan mellesia. Farmajo had to start from scratch.

Somalia needs long time solution. Hassan needs to sport the Galmudug administration function, support paid local police in every district, and remove roadblocks. There are 120 roadblocks between Hiiraan and Galkacayo alone.

Both Galmudug and Hirshabelle are economically not viable as they stand today. These two regions should be joined up together and form a singular entity. However, if economic/security environments change, there should be an option in the future to split them as they are today, lets say after 15-20 years time.

Al-shabab need to move their project to where it will be most appreciated.  Somaliland. The only Somali region with a prestigious private school entirely sponsored/funded by LGBT. The only Somali region with murtads/atheist  movement from Europe, North America and Africa/somaliland with their headquarter in London. A movement with a large following from one particular clan. A movement hell bend on poisoning the mind of the youth through clan based nationalism which takes precedence above everything especially Islam. 

It’s apparent you sir, have never been in Somaliland, as lacking religiousness or public morality is certainly not the reality in SL.

Jamal Osman explains what he saw on the ground in Alshabab territory. From what he is describing, if it is true as he is saying. Then we can all agree that Alshabab actually runs the most "Government' like entity in what was formerly Ex-Italian Somalia. 

They have free education, free health care, they grow their own foods and run their own factories. 

What Jamal is describing here totally runs in the face of what many thought Alshabab to be. My previous idea of them was some id*0ts who are brainwashed and just doing thuggery under the banner of Islam. 

I am very sure the system that they have is due to the Northerners who are said to constitute the top leadership of the group.
