Profile: Ibrahim Haji Jama Mead (Ibrahim al Afghani)

[Jacaylbaro]

Ibrahim Haji Jama Mead, also known as Ibrahim al Afghani, is a senior leader in al Shabaab and a member of the group’s Shura Council.[1] Afghani was one of the original founders of al Shabaab.[2] Several sources since December 2010 have reported he replaced Ahmed Abdi Godane, also known as Mukhtar Abu Zubair, as al Shabaab’s emir.[3] Al Shabaab has not announced any leadership change, and subsequent statements by the group identified Godane as the emir. As of May 2010, Afghani headed al Shabaab’s Jubba Valley administration from Kismayo.[4] Neither the United States nor the United Nations has designated Afghani as a terrorist.
