Alshabaab might have pledged their allegiances to Al Qaeda but the foreign troops are very minimum compared to the Foreign boots on the ground in Somalia.

When we--as Somalis--take orders from foreigners, then you know we have a problem.

 

Even if Shabaab conquered and stabilized Somalia, a best case scenario would be Somalia being isolated by the Western powers as a result. The difference between AMISOM and Shabaab is:

 

1. AMISOM has the stated objective of stabilizing Somalia, and then withdrawing from the country when the time is right.

 

2. Shabaab has the objective of uniting Somalia under the leadership of Godane and his kind. But then they go and f*** it all up by pledging allegiance to Al Qaeda. So even if Somalia is united under 1 leadership, it would lead us to being isolated, just like North Korea is isolated.

There must be another way why not something in between the government of Somalia and the Alshabaab Militants talking and uniting for the sake of their country. Alshabaab they did something which was quiet remarkable they controlled much of south and central Somalia with strict authority compared to when sh sharif came into office a government given its legitimacy by the international community but little legitimacy on the ground why not form a coalition its possible they just need to try it. Alshabaab was a power to be reckoned with but they had no long term plan they had no structure how to govern Somalia they had no clear foreign policy nothing other than embracing Ayman Al zawahiri. They are kinda facing the same dilemma the ICU was facing few years ago.

A lot of innocent people died during the unjustified illegal Amxaaro invasion led by traitors but the thousands more that died during the justified AMISOM shellings of 2010-12 died for the greater good, no doubt. AUN

The policy of Shabaab is going to resemble Al Qaeda's policy on Somalia. These foreign jihadists want to use Somalia as a base to launch attacks on Western interests. Godane's interests are trans-continental, which stands in stark contrast to the interests of men like Dahir Aweys, who was only concerned on Somalia.

 

Why do you think Shabaab was launching threats against Britain, simply because Britain extradited a Syrian Sheikh to the United States. Shabaab is actually declaring war on Britain over this 1 irrelevant Sheikh who was deported. This is their mentality

Whether it's 2700 Ugandans dead or claims of shabaab dealing a heavy blow to a foreign infidels,its all for the mighty dollar war profiteering for one and a distorted world view of misinterpreting a religion for the other. AUN the real victims who must survive between these two on a daily basis.
