I partly disagrea with you president farmaajo is not all out bombing the shit out of them because its an ideological war and also a political one and killing foot soldiers doesn't eradicate the problem that al shabab causes.The government needs to think very smartI've met a family who is related to one of Al Shabaab top leaders (won't expose him)
They live in a huge mansion and they own video games and advanced technology.
The whole thing is a politic business organization rather then an ideology.
Al shabaab also export charcoal to middle eastern countries

A nice retirement package probably...Why did he give himself up and what does he expect to gain from handing himself over?
@shanqale
You and other answered the question, in the end it all comes down to money and business, shabab is not a single entity, it's composed of many different fractions each backed by different foreign entities.
It's likely Mansuur cut a deal with black water, him being removed from the US list came at the same time Sakiin signed a deal with black water mercenaries, so those shabab fractions fighting him are loyal to Ethiopia whom doesn't like this deal that took place and sees it'self supreme in SWS
This is what all the fighting is really about, the Ethiopian shabab fraction is also introducing Ethiopian Bir currency on traders in that whole region on the behest of Ethiopia as is their puppeteers in Puntland that are making this a reality by introducing the fake notes to collapse the local currency.
Timing is everything my friend and if you follow the money you get to the real motives, Godane was killed because of the American/Ethiopian dispute when their drone base was removed, Godane choose to side with Ethiopia and hence an American drone took him out as a revenge.
hopefully, he's got some devastating information and influences more to leave. After AS is abolished, I hope he 'disappears'.A nice retirement package probably...
He's now on his way to Mogadishu to speak with Farmaajo & Kheyre.
