Exaggerated number

 

[Bazed]

Sure they did.

This is also the Americans' main argument against the MOU, that it strengthens Al Shabaab. HSM just follows the wave.

 

[Bazed]

Isn't this dude a Shabaab mouth piece. If he told me the sky was blue I'd have to get further evidence to believe it.

Where are they getting these soldiers from?

Reer badiyo Somalis with a strong Swahili component present among them, funny how Kenya won’t mention the fact that it’s their citizens going there more than any other nation.

Also I’d wager the fact that ethiopia has taken an aggressive stance towards us has contributed to more joining, AS have been riding this sentiment of Islamist/Somali nationalism, even though that hasn’t been brought to the limelight.

 

[Bazed]

Somalis need to get the house in order. Joining Al Shabaab simply keeps us in this purgatory. Neither moving forward nor collapsing so that we can start again.

ppl joining due to the MOU

I think rhetorically this makes ethiopia look like the bad guys to the west and fucks up their peace keeping rep

 

[Waamo Warrior]

I reckon these numbers are highly exaggerated. Also if people are joining AS it has nothing to do with Ethiopia . Most Somalis are like everyone else which means they look out for their own self interest. As messed up as it sounds if joining AS helps them to look out for their own interests then they would. As long as AS promises them some kind of financial security they would join instantly. Shit I’m sure a couple of J words have joined AS because they were promised a captured jileec bride. At the end of the day it comes down to money and desires. The ones who self destruct themselves is either a person who is pumped up with intoxicates , a child or some kind of miskiin mentally challenged person who doesn’t know any better. No sane person really believes in their ideology , what they do literally goes against the fitrah.

Made up numbers but they probably got new recruits after the MoU between Isaaq and Oromo.

 

[cow]

Fake news.

Hassan himself strengthens them by keeping foreign troops in the country and keeping their supposed “war against foreigners” argument alive. So Ethiopia isn’t doing lasting damage in that regard. Weak stance from Uncle Sam.

 

[Lahaine]

That's scary hope it's fake news

Didn't Sunne tell his beesha isaaq that he would send 1000 men for every kilometer of coastline Muse bixi gives to Ethiopia to do jihad. They are triggering AS themselves as well so it cannot be ignored.

The pick a random number and add a K on the end. No doubt those that live in AS owned land will join but that's expected.

And then they go to Mogadishu to blow themselves up and kill their brethren. Never ever going anywhere near the "gaal xabash" in Ethiopia
