GAAROODI Posted January 3, 2010 These guys have ten regions under there control, albeit little villages with low populations and little will or desire to stand there ground. They have also trained up a new force to fight the government and firmly have there eyes set on mugdisho. They will take mugdisho, no doubt, its a matter of time. What next, but north to Puntland. A question to puntlanders, when alshabab come can you defend yourself?? can the little army of children wearing hijabs defeat you? we will see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naxar Nugaaleed Posted January 3, 2010 There is a natural buffer zone called galgaduud with a few determined and true Sufi darawiish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qandalawi Posted January 3, 2010 ^Lool, the Sufis have no match against the confused Shabaabs, yes the Sufis(clans + warlords) are fighting and struggling to chase away some of the weakest Alshabaab elements in the country. Garoodi, you need to warry about when they take over Mogadishu, and then perhaps their litmus test will be in Puntland, if they run over it and take control of that region too, rest assured Somaliland's ability to defend itself from the crazy Alshabaab is not a topic feasible for discussion.

Meiji Posted January 3, 2010 What ten regions? 2 Jubba, Baay/Bakool/L.Shabelle & M.Shabelle. Regions with multiple factions vying for it: Gedo, Banadir, Hiiraan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherban Shabeel Posted January 3, 2010 1. Shabaab won't take Xamar. If it didn't in May 09 it won't ever. 2. If Shabaab DOES expand North, Somaliland better watch out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAAROODI Posted January 3, 2010 sherban shebeel, lool, saxib Somaliland destroyed africa's largest army when they were rebels, a few teenagers are no match for us, thats why we are not fused about them. Puntland on the other hand has no history of succesfully combating any power that challanged it, in its entire history, be it the somali dictator, be it as a rebel group or even against somaliland. So saxib your insecurity has to be sorted out if you want to survive because these hijab wearing youth are comming. Most of these regions that they control now have very few people living there.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted January 3, 2010 Alshabaab goes to places where there is no law and order , Kismayo iyo meelahaas iyo xammar iyo meelahaas bay qabsadaa iyo jawhar iyo. laakin meelaha dawladi ka jirto alshabaab ma iman karto. alshabaab dhawr suufi oo xadreynaya ayay iska celin kari wayeen. ma ciidan iyo boolice hubeysan oo nidameysan bay iska celin karan never. haba ka yaabin.
