walaalkis Posted October 4, 2011 Curious about this group's none stop ability to continue the bloodshed. Maybe some don't want to see alshabab disappear from Somalia. They got guns supporters money and all kind of ways to make attack. They fighting different groups, they are dispense all over the map. I have to ask, Is this the work of people within Somalia peninsula who are funding these folks ? the more Mogadishu stays like this the more Somalia gets worse and we all know how others enjoy seeing people in the south suffer. It's obvious kenya ,ethiopia and others who dislike Somalia becoming peaceful place are benefiting from alshabab and this corrupt government lack of leadership. Where are they getting their support ?

Thankful Posted October 4, 2011 The key suspects are all those countries and entities that do not want to see a strong Federal Government formed in Somalia. The list is long but their are some that are at the top of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldCoast Posted October 5, 2011 lol @ these fairy tales about far off Arab sheikhs. Eritrea openly funded Hizb Al Islam but they stopped once they merged with AS. They clearly are almost entirely funded through internal sources. They control a significant amount of territory and a port in Kismaayo. All businesses under their territory are forced to pay a tax. Also I have read they have sympathizers in the TFG who sometimes divert funds and weapons. Point is they are not some hugely complex militia that needs billions to operate. The sources in Somalia alone are enough to sustain it. The sources they got from outside are minimal in comparison that is is for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raamsade Posted October 6, 2011 Xaawo Maxamed Hassan Aamina Faarax Cali if you believe the US government. They've been openly collecting money ostensibly for charities back in Somalis but were surreptitiously diverting the funds to Alshabaab causes. There are many more Somalis like them in the diaspora. US Tries Women Accused of Funding Somali Terror Group VOA News The trial has begun for two American women charged with raising money and recruiting fighters for the Somali militant group al-Shabab. Jury selection began Monday in the U.S. city of Minneapolis for the trial of 35-year-old Amina Farah Ali and 64-year-old Hawo Mohamed Hassan. Prosecutors say the women, who are both of Somali descent, collected money from the Minnesota Somali community to send to the al-Qaida-linked group. The U.S. government says it wiretapped Ali's home and cellular phones over a 10-month period, monitoring some 30,000 calls. Court documents say investigators also searched the trash outside Ali's apartment dozens of times. The two women have claimed they were soliciting money from the Somali community for charitable causes. But prosecutors claim the money was used to help at least 20 men travel from Minnesota to Somalia to join al-Shabab. Ali and Hassan are accused of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. Ali faces an additional 12 counts for allegedly sending more than $8,600 to al-Shabab beginning in 2008. The women are among 20 people accused of taking part in the scheme to support the group. Some of them have pleaded guilty, while others await trial or remain fugitives. Al-Shabab is fighting to overthrow Somalia's fragile transitional government in a bid to impose a strict form of Sharia, or Islamic law. The group recently pulled its fighters from the Somali capital of Mogadishu but continues to hold large sections of southern and central Somalia.
