I have been reading about the U.A.E.'s sketchy behavior toward funding terrorist organizations. And I wondered if an Arab country is or was funding Al-Shabaab. I know that a great portion of the funding comes from within Somalia via extortion. However, if there were ever any outside funding for Al-Kebab, for what reason? What can one benefit from when funding this organization? And does this have to do with Somalia's placement in Africa?
