The only alternative I can think of is Somali women being preyed upon and raped by Somali "government" soldiers in IDP camps, Somali politicians stealing aid meant for poor Somali citizens, Somalia's natural resources being plundered and sold to foreigners, Somali women being shipped en masse to work as maids in countries where they face abuse and humiliation, perpetual clan violence, extortion, khat addiction, social corruption and degeneracy, etc.
Whereas in the case of Al Shabaab, its "abuses" are primarily based on speculation and propaganda and not factual evidence.
How about Al Shabab preying on entire communities, forcibly marrying teenaged girls to every Abu foreigner, Al Shabab taxing poor farmers and shopkeepers, cutting down trees for charcoal, refusing to let humanitarian aid in during the famine that killed hundreds of thousands in areas they primarily control, and the populace so against them they'd prefer Ethiopians and Bantus unlike 2007 when AS had the support of the people? Or the hilarious justification of suicide bombing markets, hotels, graduation ceremonies, but fleeing at the sight of foreign troops.
Al Shabab is so shitty and their policies are so counterproductive I genuinely believe they're controlled by other entities to keep Somalia destabilized.
