Islamic State trains in Somalia’s Puntland

[AussieHustler]

Islamic State recruits at the “Dawoud al Somali” training camp in Somalia’s northern Puntland region.

In photos released online yesterday, the Islamic State showed fighters within its Somali branch training in a makeshift camp in Somalia’s northern Puntland region.

The photo report details the militants undergoing basic weapons and physical training at the so-called “Dawoud al Somali” training camp, which is named after a killed military trainer of the group.

Additionally, the jihadist group claims these fighters are new recruits, which is likely given the recruitment efforts in the region. US AFRICOM has noted that the group has been able to recruit new members despite military efforts against it.

Ethiopia has also reported that it arrested Islamic State Somalia (ISS) members earlier this month who were recruiting Ethiopians into ISS.

The rudimentary camp is likely located somewhere in Puntland’s Bari mountains south of Bosaso, the Islamic State Somalia’s main stronghold.

That area has seen numerous Puntland military operations, as well as US airstrikes, against the jihadist group. Earlier this year, the deputy emir of the group was killed by a US airstrike in the region.

This is not the first time the Islamic State has advertised training camps inside Somalia. The “Commander Sheikh Abu Numan training camp” was previously featured in a video released in 2016.

That facility is named after Bashir Abu Numan, a Shabaab commander who was one of the earliest to defect to the Islamic State but was later killed by Shabaab’s Amniyat (internal security force).

Islamic State operations inside Somalia has drastically slowed in recent months. Late last week, it claimed its first operation since Aug. 14 and its first inside Mogadishu since Aug. 5.

It is probable that continued pressure by Shabaab, as well as military efforts against it by Puntland security forces, the Somali military, and the threat of US airstrikes have slowed its operational tempo.

This is totally devastating news. Ali Salemaan, Puntland ha tashdeen. Jama Ali Jama waa loo tashday, duligani miyaa la cafin kara? sharcigu puntland cid ka baxsan karto ma jiro ama ha lagu kala tago meeshu sidu cadowgu doonayo.

Islamic state waxaa lagu BOYA Qandala, waxa soo dhowayste ali saleemaan. Dawlada Puntland persona non grata ha laga dhigo, wayba isla shaqayan ali salemaanka qandala ku jira iyo kan dawlada, waa wada ali saleemaan.

Cadowga puntland gudaheedu waa baharsame oo omar mahmud uu ciilan iyo jamac siyad oo been loo sheegay iyo ali saleemaan, DHULKA AAN DHIGNO SI LOO BADBADIYO PUNTLAND STATE.

Where are the reer mahad boys? This is now an 'external' security problem and they are the external security enforcer of the state. Bring out Rushka, How can they watch this insult to PL, Ali saleemaan bringing in shisheeye islamic state who reports to HG shabab and Cayrow the creator in the south. I am suprised all omar mahmouds are not marching towards this gun gun dhalay ali saleemaan, cuz when reer mahad see 'ciidaan' cadow uu shaqaynayo they go crazy and use to deal with it quickly like alitihaad 93 when ali saleemaan and the langaabs attempted the same thing.

It's unacceptable how we tolerate some traitors like baharsame/jamac siyad and ali saleemaan yet we used the whole damn state against osman mahmoud in 2001.

This isn't going to help unity in PL and will serve the interest of our enemy to ensure the state collapses thru suspicions of each other, The DR makes it clear either the law applies to all or it applies to none, stop applying as you LIKE. If those IS soldiers were Osman Mahmoud the state would arm up all HARTIS again like 2001 but when Ali saleemaan-Baharsame-Jamac siyad can work for the enemy it's fine and dandy. WTF. One rule for all, bring back the REAL PUNTLAND.

Easily solve the problem like galgala 93. Bring in Rushka, they will flee like they always do. Problem solved, no more pussy footing and playing games. They are occupying our mountains, this is unacceptable and an insult to puntland people in LA HAYSTO

Daacish oo dagaallamayaal cusub ku soo bandhigtay buuraleyda gobolka Bari ee Puntland.

Well, these lot, along with Al Shabaab over in the Galgala mountains, are more than welcome to continue bumming each other in their hideouts. Their fulaynimo, is just exceptional.

 

[Samaalic Era]

Even if your gonna start some retarded organisation, why would you pledge allegiance to some old fool ajnabi

 

[BenInHer]

They look good nacalaa. Who's funding them.

The same people that seem to know everything about them and have a vested interest in extracting resources from our mountains without paying for them.

 

[Finesse]

They must think we are braindead.

AlShaydan and these other mountain criminals are clearly gaalo who work for foreign corporations/countries.

They probably get dropped off in planes and boats.



I suggest we stop calling them what they claim and call them what they are;

1. foreign lackeys
2. serial killers
3. thieves

Pick one.

Where is Deni yoga? He was last seen traveling to Kismayo on the orders of his boss Hassan sheikh Mahmoud.

Bro, I saw his reply but I didn't reply back. Many others from MJ family start to leave because of him. Many accounts but same person. May allah show him the right way and visit Puntland.

 

[Crow]

Well, look who decided to show his face in the political section once again and with yet another anti-Puntland thread no less.

He claims hes not clanist, nor makes threads about other Somali admins.......apart from negative stories of PL.......very telling.

Stop deflicting MJs your region is a terror hub just like the south

They dont control a single town or village. They're holed up in hideouts deep in mountain ranges.......now, southern Somalia doesn't have mountains and is flat, but yet, Al Shabaab occupy half (if not more) of the south.

They also killed like 20+ SNA and captured a few the other day no one reported on it because it happens so often

Pics of their dead bodies are on some Somali sites.
