You think Alkabab didnt try with puntland?.Just in pure numbers Al kabaab has anywhere from 7-8 k soldiers to 15-20 k according to some estimates. Daacish in PL had 500 soldiers as of 2024.
Al kabaab has a more effective overall organization, they have spies all over the country, money and certain more equipment. I totally agree that the FHA is corrupt and this hinders the fight against Al kebab but still you can't compare this to Daacish in PL who have been hiding in the mountain for years
The killing and bombs attacks most of it from Alkabaab during 2006 till now!!.
ISIS branch before were Alkabaab unit in Bari.
Now imagine we fighting ex Alkabaab plus international terrorists!!.
Alkabaab are not that powerfull but South Somalia made them huge thing!!.
Puntland has harsh law against terrorist, anyone been caught will be killed, so now compare South Somalia with puntland how many terrorist been killed?.
HAG has soft spot for them. They should act like we did against enemy using your kin to kill you!!.
Now ina mumaain he is from my clan, but today PMPF CS soldiers are searching him to kill him!!.
Its mentality issue and HSM at 2020 did good start then he shifted to Puntland and Dastuur!!.
