@TekNiKo stop pushing this narrative, shabaab is way weaker than Taliban, if they could take over xamar they would have done it 14 years ago when the government was much weaker. this dude is no professor. You did not respond to my reply on the other post either
Prof ingriss seems to be not aware what's happening now in the country. Al Shabab is nowhere near of taking the capital since there's no siege to capital or any major movement from the group towards urban large cities in southern Somalia that threatens to bring those local govt down thus a threat to the governing system in Xamar there's no such thing in Somalia currently but the opposite is happening where HSM launch of major offensive military operation against AS threatens the group survivability and authority in the country and the bomb today is there angry response to that.
Wrong. The amount of pressure being put against AS recently has not been seen for the past decade (since battle of Mogadishu 2011). There is actually genuine hope AS will lose their lands in Hirshabelle and Galmudug. The ideological and financial war I admit has a long way to go due to the brainwashing and fear they installed on the local populations. But military, the end of AS in south central Somalia is very near.The military balance between the FGS and Alshabab has remained largely unchanged over the past decade. The FGS will sometimes push back the khawarij, but they then wait and slowly regain the lost territory.
Alshabab have willingly withdrawn from ~20% of the territory they held in 2012 and have repositioned themselves to best be able to tax and maneuver. The greatest hoax HSM and Farmaajo pulled was to convince people that Somalia was making progress against Alshabab.
The situation is as bad as 2012, if not worse given Alshabab's growing ability to tax all economic activity south of Galgaduud.

Mashallah. The first rationale comment in this thread. You are right. We are very divided and lack the national cohesion that many countries have.No question Farmaajo didn't do shit about kebab and so far HSM is doing much better when it comes to capturing land. Let's try to be honest in our FKD akhis. The problem is the lack of intelligence, security forces easily getting bribed, kebab amniyat deep in Xamar etc. These terrorist have better intelligence than FGS unfortunately. The other big problem is somalis are not nationalists. Iranians hate their mullahs but will pick up a rifle and defend their country if Israel attacked today
You have people in the diaspora raising money to send back home to people in Hiraan as well. I have never heard of thatWrong.

Well its a stalemate then but its clear that the fgs is stronger but not strong enough and resourceful enough to hold on to the places they capture. Best strategy then is to weaken them and create a buffer zone. HSM also has a good plan to strengthen financial institution and introduce ID to isolate shabaab financially.The military balance between the FGS and Alshabab has remained largely unchanged over the past decade.

AS have killed many Somalis and calls the blood spilling halal they lost what little support they had when they started targeting civilian gatherings under the pretense of fighting gaals whom ironically live in the greenzone and have never been targeted.
