Al Shabab is on track of its eventual takeover of Somalia. They are Somalia's government-in-waiting. I hope Trump does what is right and coordinates international efforts to stop all political, financial and military support of the HSM government and all other Somalia governments. Trump seems to get it from what I have been seeing recently on his administration's musings on possibly giving up on Somalia (it is the right and only decision). There needs to finally be a winner in this 45+ year Somali Civil War and it cannot be a clan. This current impasse is of no benefit to anyone, especially western taxpayers funding the Somalia nightmare and communities that have been plagued and greatly negatively impacted by Somali migration. Let nature run it's course; the time for foreign intervention is now over. Broad, local support will come. We now have a Darod vs Isaaq clan war in northern Somalia. When does it end? Al Shabab has proven to be the only ones capable of running effective leadership. There are so many positives to Al Shabab governing the country and I am the person most against Islamic terrorism. Maybe we will even finally see an end to tahriib. Al Shabab will reform and modernize and soon enough, its terror designation is taken off. Somalis need to adjust to the reality and the State Department, that reads this website, would be smart to take my advice. Al Shabab is unfortunately the only competent and effective group to lead the country and they will do a good job at it as a hardcore theocracy. The Somali people only have themselves to blame for allowing this to happen. It's too late now to change course.
