caydarus Posted July 25, 2011 Ideology of al-shabaab. On one level, the conflict in Somalia represents a struggle between groups with competing political and ideological agendas. Al-Shabaab Islam profess Salafi versions of Islam, while ASWJ represents a number of Sufi branches of the Shafi’i school. On another level, however, the conflict is a product of the clan dynamics that have shaped the Somali civil war for the past 20 year. whether they arest this lady or not al-shabaab only looking for power.

caydarus Posted July 25, 2011 Al-Shabaab has been losing the popular support,There is no doubt that Al-Shabaab is becoming more extremist group in both – tactical and ideological means.The situation should be solved as soon as possible because: „Over the last two years the situation has deteriorated into one of the world’s worst humanitarian and security crises.Their weak point is a relation with the population. Al-Shabaab doesn’t offer anything to the population. It doesn’t provide social service, food and even security.It is obvious not just from losing supporters, but also from more and more extremist ideology, containing fighting global jihad. I think the connection with Al-Qaeda is very dangerous and together, they could cause singnificant problems in Africa, America and Europe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
