He's not a commander he's an Emir, it's a splinter group, autonomous from Shabaab. My response was to your response to
@FBIsomalia.
He hasn't split from Al Shabaab so still comes under Ahmed Omar which is why he's designated as North East Al-Shabaab.
I'm sure there are Darod commanders in the south but the comparison is moot whereas I have showed you a pattern. If you show me a pattern of MJs specifically (kudos to
@AarHawd_7 for that) going to the south or Somaliland leading Shabaab to blow people up, I'll take everything back.
