Because it's leadership is from North!

if that is true why majority of landers sympathize with Al Shabaab? Al Shabaab follows the philosophy of your enemies enemy is your friend.Lazy thinking.
Yes, you could say Landers have historically been overrepresented in AS leadership considering where they live.
But the truth is, Godane (Isaaq-Arap founder of AS) and Afghani (Isaaq-HA, Godane mentor) tried to start a terror cell in Hargeisa. It didn’t work because locals valued the peace they had just fought for during the Habar Habar wars and rejected them.
Southern Somalis haven’t rejected AS yet, and probably won’t ever.
Al Shabaab only had Isaaq and Dir. i'ts founder is isaaq his name is ismaciil caraale lives now in Hargeysa their second Amir was Isaaq Ahmed Godane, Current one is Dir Ahmed Diiriye his potential successor Nadiir was Dir he got assassinated by the US now there is Isaaq one who replaced Nadiir as Ahmed diiriye's successor he was released from SL prison to lead Al ShabaabNever understood why people try to blame isaaq for Arsenal. They have had 3 leaders and 2 of them have been reer koonfur first one being Hawiye and the current one Dir. Spouting lies again and again won't make it true.
Your source a guy who faked his own kidnapping. Ceyroow was the leader before Godane, you can guess his clan by his nameAl Shabaab only had Isaaq and Dir. i'ts founder is isaaq his name is ismaciil caraale lives now in Hargeysa their second Amir was Isaaq Ahmed Godane, Current one is Dir Ahmed Diiriye his potential successor Nadiir was Dir he got assassinated by the US now there is Isaaq one who replaced Nadiir as Ahmed diiriye's successor he was realeased from SL prison to lead Al Shabaab
this is basically the main reason. I don't see what people understand about this.Many reasons. Al Shabaab leaders are mainly from from north Somalia. Second of all the north of Somalia is Arid making it harder to survive their, there is also more diversity in the south in terms of clans. Their is food supply with fertile lands in the south making it an easy hide out location.

Middle jubba is the most clan diverse and greenest Somali region followed by lower shabelle. The two AS regions they own most territoriesless clan diversity and harder to wage guerrilla warfare due to the landscape
Middle Jubba is literally the most difficult terrain to fight on the soil and everything. Plus it is where Al Shabaab keep most of their highest trained soldiers. In places like Puntland Where a handful of tribes live there plus it is plain land barely any trees obviously it's going to be very easy to fight in that sort of terrain.Middle jubba is the most clan diverse and greenest Somali region followed by lower shabelle.

Fake News.Because it's leadership is from North!
Facts. Look at GalGala mountains. Due to the terrain and easy hideout there it has been hard for Puntland to get rid of Dash. That is Equivalent to Koonfur and how the environment makes it harder to defeat Al Shabaab.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
the only part of Puntland under terrorist organisations is a place where the terrain suits them. If Puntland was like middle jubba or lower shabelle, no doubt they would AS presence tooFacts.

SWS also has mountains. But what Im talking about is the trees and muddy landIsn’t even about land quality at all. The south, especially SWS, and Galgaduud is relatively flat. While Puntland (with an exception of Mudug) is mountainous, look at Nugaal valley for example. And all of Bari. Is that terrain suitable for “guerrilla warfare”?
