New UN Security Council Terror Report

[Rocktheboat]

These are the parts about Somalia

18. In Somalia, the Government embarked on a strong military campaign in the fight against Harakat Al-Shabaab Al-Mujahidin (Al-Shabaab, SOe.001). While Al-Shabaab suffered some losses from targeted airstrikes against its leadership and fighters, Member States reported that some of Al-Shabaab’s largest-scale attacks had taken place more recently. Al-Shabaab has killed over 500 civilians, government officials, soldiers, law enforcement officers and international peacekeepers in the past six months. In its most lethal attack, Al-Shabaab detonated car bombs near the Ministry of Education compound in the capital, Mogadishu. The twin blasts killed 121 people and injured 333 others. Al-Shabaab has also staged several deadly hotel sieges. Member States assess that the group continue to extend its territorial advances both domestically and in neighbouring States, noting multiple cross-border incursions into Ethiopia.

19. Member States estimate that Al-Shabaab commands between 7,000 and 12,000 fighters and remains undiminished in capacity. Member States assessed that Al- Shabaab generated between $100 million and $150 million per annum from its taxation of all aspects of the economy of Somalia (S/2022/83, para. 20) and used at least 25 per cent of its revenue for military purchases.

20. ISIL in Somalia has a presence in Puntland. Member States note, however, that the group neither has the capacity to control large terrain, owing to continued attacks by Al-Shabaab, nor possesses the capacity to undertake large-scale sophisticated attacks. ISIL in Somalia is estimated to have between 200 and 250 fighters. ISIL in Somalia hosts the Al-Karrar office (S/2022/547, para. 24), headed by the Emir of ISIL in Somalia, Abdul Qadir Mumin, a former leader within Al-Shabaab who had pledged allegiance to ISIL in October 2015.

21. Member States assessed that the Al-Karrar office acted as a financial hub, transmitting funds to affiliates. Several Member States noted that the Al-Karrar office facilitated ISIL-K financially by sending $25,000 worth in cryptocurrency every month. Member States assessed that ISIL Somalia generated $100,000 per month through extortion of the shipping industry and illicit taxation. However, Member States had not presented any definitive information on the exact source of financial flows into the Al-Karrar office.

The intel here is very low quality. Isil in PL isn't more then 20 ppl reporting to Abdul Qadir Mumin 'jifi' and he created it becuz he couldn't run shabab and wanted another global terror funder. I say 20 as he can't launch an 'offensive' on PSF, like shabab can't on amisom.

As for isil revenue, I doubt any comes from PL, as no-one is scared of them as he knows his own 'jifi' will be attacked if he targets anyone in the region, as PL is very sub clan based, where we don't interact much with each other as every1 stays in their own neighborhood or towns.

ISIL is over-rated, they're parades show only 10-15 men, and possibly 5-10 ppl as 'reserve suppy line', that isn't anything like Shabab, shabab is the real threat.

An official told reports that US special operations forces raided a cave complex in the mountains of northern Somalia, hoping to capture al-Sudani initially.

No civilians were harmed during the operation, senior US administration officials said.

“Al-Shabab has taken advantage of Somali instability and fractious politics to become al-Qaeda’s largest and wealthiest global affiliate. It exerts influence essentially throughout the country of Somalia,” a US official said at the time.

As the articles says their in caves, not in any settlement as they will be opening themselves up to PSF. If their so wealthy like shabab surely u wud think they cud buy out a 'village' support thru it's elders, they can't they r literally 20-25 ppl in caves.
