Al-Shabaab never liked the ICU

[Crow]

Al-Shabaab formed an alliance with the Islamic Courts Union in 2006 to counter the alliance of 10 warlords formed by the CIA that February but they didn't ever see eye to eye.

I think this is noteworthy because some people reminisce about the ICU days and what could have been. However, I think this makes it clear that the ICU was never going to last - Ethiopian invasion or no Ethiopian invasion. Al-Shabaab were intent on replicating Taliban ruled Afghanistan at all costs.

This also shows how uncompromising they are in their views. If they couldn't get along with the ICU, how can they ever negotiate with the FGS?

Al Shabab are a faction in the modern day Kharijites and must be fought tooth and nail by the ummah they have a hidden belief all other Sunnis are Sufis and kafirs this is a justification to kill some and “reform” the others Somalis need to wake up

AL-Kebab were just paid more. The ICU although extreme kept the peace and unity. Al-Kebab is like a kingdom's vassal that has received spies from a much more mighty kingdom to rebel against his king.

They are paid merceneries not soldiers of Allah.

Anyone who supports Al-kebab & wahabbi world policy, should be boiled alive

Al shabab were operating in the shadows of ICU, they were never one and the same. The ICU were pragmatic, The youth just wanted to wreck everything and had no room for negotiations

This is why Robow should never become the governor of South West state, and Madoobe needs to get the f*ck out of Jubbaland.

Bunch of murderers. Somalia will never truly move forward until the likes of Robow and Madoobe face a criminal court.
