UK Sky News is about to release a documentary on ISIS in Puntland.

Top brass of IS Soomaal are Somalis. You also need some undercover local support to smuggle in supplies from the sea and land. No way a group of ajanabis would be still fighting.

The locals were probably bribed by IS to turn a blind eye to their activities. The are they operated in is very sparsely populated, so only few elders were needed to bribe.

Isn't Mumin Majarteen? Probably that's why he is based in Puntland. Probably some elder with his brain rotten by Qabilism that was willing to help him.

I saw a video of a while ago of a guy convicted of aiding shabab to do assassinations in gaalkacayo. His whole reason was to “save more money”- no ideological leanings whatsoever. Poverty does crazy things to people minds. I think there are more unsuspecting people like that guy who covertly help these groups for financial reasons. They would need these covert agents to help smuggle in fighters and weaponry, track troop movements etc. It doesn’t help the xawaala system is so badly regulated and that Somali internet is not really monitored. Western governments stop a lot of things in their tracks by internet companies/ schools flagging people accessing or posting hardcore Dacish material.
