Hon. Farah Maalim, former speaker of the Kenyan parliament went on national kenyan television and confirmed that Kenyan security services support al-kebab, and that the Kenyan government financially depends and benefits from terroism. He explained that al-kebab is a "financial cash-cow for kenyans." The kenyan government didn't sue for defamation or arrest him, because what he's saying is true. Otherwise he would've been sued on the spot by the Kenyan attorney general.UN report finds Kenya still funding al-Shabaab terror group through illegal sugar and charcoal trade

Three years after the Kenyan army was first accused of colluding with Somalia-based Islamic group al-Shabaab in Somalia's multimillion-dollar illegal charcoal trade, the United Nations has warned that Kenya's military are still complicit in the trade, from which al-Shabaab predominantly finances its activities.
In 2013, the United Nations found that members of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) operating in Somalia as part of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) was complicit in the trade that provides income to al-Shabaab. The terror group – KDF's military opponent in Somalia and at home – has long funded its war against the Somali government and AMISOM by the illegal export of charcoal estimated at between $135m (£109m) to $180m by the UN monitoring group for Somalia and Eritrea.
Always blaming others for their own problems. Please take responsibility for your own actions.
The bombings and killings of innocent people in Xamar recently, started the day after:Alshabaab has and always been led by foreigners and that is not news to any of us. Their foot soldiers are made of inferior clans, laangaabs, who feel they are politicaly opressed.
The defining issue of this is, ethiopia, kenya and to some extent uganda and the arab elites who want to keep the status quo, Somalia isn't being helped but used in order to further their own agenda. The african nations, ethiopia, bantuland etc, are fighting for regional dominance and influence and they will do anything to make it happen.
As for the arab elites, as you know qatar has been funding IC from start to finnish. Shortly after IC was oosted from the mainland, alshabaab accured and from then may be to this year alshabaab has been on their books. The saudis are not diffenrent,just like ethiopia and bantulands, they, too, are strugling for regionad dominance. Ever since somalia announced to be neutral on thre GCC crises, the ibn-saud family have been trying to undermine the SFG and create a conflict between federal states and central goverments and it seems they have done that perfectly. The sauds might also start funding alshabaab.
Somalia is not only hopless but its also preyed on, a very dangerous situation to be in. We have no friends, no brothers, no sisters and caretaker. No one is here to help us , they are all helpin themselfs, the sooner my people realise this the better.
Best idea I've heard of how to stop Kenya's cash-cow.Kill the charcoal trade and regulate the sugar industry. That way if Kenya wants to still fund terrorism they'll have to use their own money.
Alshabab is a money making scheme. One think you leave out but is hugely significant is the tribe of Abu Mansour who are all rahanweyn foot soldiers for shabab.
rahanweyn will joins the fight against shabab + the AU funding ending soon it means the death of shabab as we know.
All these fanatics from other lands are easy to tell apart on top of them not speaking somali like the somali jeerer.
It's a matter of time all we have to do is keeping fighting then for now.
Facts: This has has been confirmed on numerous occasions.majority of AS are Swahili speaking Bantus
Can't believe our enemies are using our own resources to fund terrorism against us, We got to get our house in orderBest idea I've heard of how to stop Kenya's cash-cow.
