If AS upper and middle management are dealt <as well as non somali fighters> the rest of them can be pardoned but should have something that denotes them as a former terrorist wherever they go to apply for work or look for a potential marriage. These People need to be isolated from society until maybe their grandchildren generation.
is that a good thing or a bad thing.They were getting cooked by the ICU before US air support tooEthiopia is an obedient servant who will be told to go home by the same foreign powers that are keeping that nation togetherRemember it was their master USA that invited them into Somalia 2006.
Up to your interpretation. Either way it doesn’t matter as his chief of staff was connected to AS even if he wasn’t.
Where do I attack your people? Lol dameer adiga la soo booday. There isn't a single lie in anything I posted in this thread sxb
With the most concerning being the above. Khawaarij literally plan all their raids on Ceel Dheer & Xarardheere from your land killing sna and macawiisleey like we saw recently. And you want people to just disregard that? Gtfoh
You have no evidence that shabaab is attacking you from Murusade dhul. I have evidence lakin of you insulting my people. This was your 1st post on this thread. Furthermore I have seen you brand my people as shabaab several times on different threads but I ignored it. If a brother from Borama Awdal called me a terroirst I would understand but you as an Abgaal have no right to speak on this. Your people are in bed with shabaab. Somaliweyne knows this so no need to reply to me.
What would Al Shabab gain?
They don’t have strength. Somalia (excluding the north) is flat land. USA can easily bomb them to oblivion. They are planted there and will soon be disposed off.
Hilary Clinton talking about how they funded the mujaahedeen in Afghanistan to stop soviet control
What would be the condition after the negotiations and what will we do about isis in outlander area are they a threat to us as Al shabaab
The Americans have been droning and air striking them since the Obama years. So no, USA cannot easily bomb them to oblivion.
The negotiations will go on for many months with many deals being made. The end goal is shabaab leaving Somalia completely and FGS taking control over the rest of Somalia. Isis in Somalia is light work.
USA was never serious about it.
Trump alone did over 219+ strikes on Somalia alone. I would not say they weren't serious about it. And what would America getting "serious" look like? How many GBU bomb would they have to drop?
Have I missed something, or has Jilib been destroyed by the US?
I agree with you. Our friend @Ozark above is saying the US is serious about the war on terror in Somalia which they are absolutely not. US is a super power. Flat land like southern Somalia will take them onky few weeks to get rid of shabaab.
I just said US was as serious about the air strikes as they can be. Trump dropped a lot of bombs, Air strikes alone won't defeat them. You need mechanized brigades and forces, not Uncle Sam dropping GBU bombs for you that will take more civilian villagers than fighters. Your serious about fighting Shabab, then the residents of the south should bring out their guns and go fight them, America won't sacrifice boots on the ground for that sort of endeavour.
I just follow the money. Next time this year they want to start drilling for oil therefore Shabaab has to go hence the talk in Qatar being hosted by Norway and Turkey.
I believe the US made around 35,000 airstrikes against ISIS.
ISIS held a third of Syria and little less than half of Iraq. The air strikes from US and the Russians in Syria reflected that. At their peak, they were over running cities with 2 million people in it. Just their foreign fighters alone is more than Shabab combatants. The scope and size of that organization makes Shabab look like Rhode Island compared to California.
