@The Midlands maxaa ku dhacay sheekadaadi aheeyd AS waa isaaq iyo dir?
90% macquul maaha, 30-40% baan anigu dhihi lahaa.Great point by HSM, originally AL Shabab was 90% Hawiye. No one can deny that.
Al-Shabbaab never fought their way into most regions they conquered back in late 00s. Most people in South really believed the Jihaad narrative of Christian Xabash Ethiopia vs Muslims. Many clans including mine welcomed and provided shelter to what they saw as mujaahidiin. Often times Shabaab would send high ranking officials to their clans to establish good relations they sent to Abgaals our own son Kabokudukade, to RX they sent Roobow etc. Also at that point Al-Shabaab was riding on the good reputation ICU gave islamic rule.
But over time people grew to despise the draconian rule of Al-Qushaash and the uprisings have been plenty over the past decade but this government has understood the nature of Al-Shabaab and how to effectively eradicate them by supporting the locals.
So HSM was not wrong saying Shabaab didn't arrive by the gun as conquerors but they were welcomed by locals and can be kicked out by locals.
Very true. He is certainly not lying. What a great president we have. Alxamdulillah may Allah protect him. I fear if HSM is eliminated that we don't have someone better to replace him.
