These elders and businessmen are victims, not supporters. In an ideal world, where their lives and businesses are not threatened, they would never support al shabab. Every week, people are getting assassinated by Al Shabab for not complying to their orders, they’re just preserving their lives.You need to shoot these people, not just arrest them. The approach needs similar to be what Alvaro Uribe did in Colombia against the communist militia FARC, which is using a massive amount of violence in crackdowns. You need to cull them, their supporters, their apologists until they aren't a factor. Only way out of this quagmire.
Impossible to differentiate between someone paying tax because they were threatened and someone paying because they sympathize with them. You need to draw the line somewhere, an example needs to be shown that if you are caught paying tax to AS you aren't a civilian and will be killed, regardless of circumstances.These elders and businessmen are victims, not supporters.

So either al shabab kills you, or the government does? Idk, doesn’t sound like a good solution.Impossible to differentiate between someone paying tax because they were threatened and someone paying because they sympathize with them.

Is the government going to provide 24/7 security for these folks against kebab assassins? It's easy for us to judge them from the west

Only when the government has the capability to protect them, with the campaign going on in HS and GM, people who still pay after liberation should be prisoned.You need to shoot these people, not just arrest them.
