TrueAS is like Alqaeda or Isis they are not like taliban.
AS survives on CIA support.
afghanistan is mountainous landlocked and sandwiched between two spheres of influence. somalia is flat terrain and anarchistic which makes seizing swathes of land like maxkamadaha a piece of cake. a legitimate fear people will start to have is them outliving amisom. the government like the afghan government will be forced to practically legitimize them as a political entity.
now we have a race to avoid this.

The best case scenario I can see would be the SNA making enough gains against Shabaab in 3-4 years and manage to get enough defections, so when we do negotiate we do it from a position of strength where we can get them to essentially disband. I do think it's inevitable they'll play a role in politics in the future though

Keep dreaming.Will All of Somalis finally now accept HGs Hegemony once Alshabab does Taliban takeover?
All signs points to AMSIOM exiting and a Taliban like Takeover which has been planned will happen on Somalia.

What are the conditions?
Thru the shadow.Alshabaab already runs the country.
AMISOM should first leave Gedo & Villa Somalia.All this Pro shabaab propoganda is being spewed to stop SFG from kicking AMISOM out of Somalia.
It wont work and those that love AMISOM are welcome to leave with them.
AMISOM should call their bluff and leave. It’s time to pull the plug on this project.AMISOM should first leave Gedo & Villa Somalia.
