Prove that al shabab is nothing without local support

Well-done punaniland

Thats a good news. Reading some of the reports last night, i think their ultimate destination was buuraha gal gala.

First Garacad, than moved north to Eyl, than Bander Beyla....according to Google earth, they were going around the horn of Africa.

Now you guys need to clean up Gal Gala.

 

[Land of Punt]

I say no mercy, they should be butchered, as a warning that puntland does not stand for this shit. The funny thing is they realised how harsh the puntland countryside, because if we don't get you, the desert eventually will

Find out their funders, who sent them to puntland, what foreigners work with them. You can torture them

More reports coming in claiming that as many as 20 of them have been killed.

Dawlada Puntland ayaa sheegtay in Koox ka tirsan Alshabaab ay ka dileen 20 dagaalyahan, kadib markii saaka dagaal uu ku dhexmaray deegaan lagu magacaabo Suuj oo ka tirsan gobolka Nugaal.
Wasiirka Warfaafinta Puntland Maxamuud Xasan Soocade oo la hadlay BBC-da laanteeda afka Soomaliga ayaa sheegay inay dileen 20 dagaalyahan oo kooxda Shabaab ka tirsan, Ciidamada Puntland ayuu sheegay in laga dhaawacay laba Askari.
Soocade ayaa sheegay inay ku hareeraysanyihiin meesha ay ku suganyiihin kooxdu , qorshuhuna uu yahay in saacadaha soo socda la afjaro howlgalka.
Marka laga soo tago hadalka wasiirka ma jiro ilo kale oo ka madax bannaan islamarkaana xaqiijinkara khasaaraha rasmiga ee dagaalkaasi ka dhashay, balse hadalka wasiirka ayaa ku soo beegmaya xilli halkaasi ay gaareen ciidamo badan oo qorshohoodu yahay inay ka hortagaan Kooxahaasi oo dhawaan deegaamada Xeebaha Saxiimado ku soo galay.

Cut them into pieces, pile those pieces, let the dogs eat them.

Videotape it.

 

[RedStar]

I wonder if the sudden movement has anything to do with Atam receiving immunity from Qatar

 

[Game]

This is what i don't understand though, Gal Gala mountains are like 20 miles from Boosaaso and that place is teeming with Al Shabab.

How hard is it to go in there and clean the place up, once and for all?

 

[Land of Punt]

actually game, we had a campagin to clear them out, at leat 500 were dead and only 50 remained, there leader fled to qatar, the only reason the other 50 were not killed is because its such a tough terrian there, so they can hide in mountains for a long time, its seems like ther resources were running out so they called for help,

their "help" in now getting destroyed

of course if we had helicopters etc it would have been easier, but we dd a good job, makng them ineffective

 

[Hubble]

Reer Koonfur esp in SW State are protecting Al Shabaab. It would be this straight forward to put an end to them if everyone was behind these sorts of operations.

Whenever Al Shabaab gain control of places like Qoryooley, Marka and other strongholds they'll interview and photograph delighted locals.
