How about you stop adding your own commentary? It says they are in communication. Secondly, it says in that same report that he's an Emir. So why do you have a problem with me saying it?Your very own report says no such thing as independent movement that the ASNE is a concept of their own creation they're still dependent and take orders from the leadership of Al shabaab in south Somalia that's why they attacked Puntland from Galmudug side and fighting the ISIS Salebaan faction in Puntland.

ASNE still provides logistics and smuggle arms to the main force of Al Shabaab in the south.View attachment 198824
Another proof ASNE are nothing but mere subjects for the big players of Al shabaab who are in the south. So bringing up the commanders or small time members and portray them to be some senior leaders in Al Shabab's top leadership based on qabill origins is ridiculous. I threw facts at your face but if you chose it ignore thats your problem. The top emir is omar Ahmed so take up to him but instead you won't do that because it's easier to point fingers ar low level Isaaq commanders and scream Somaliland is the bogeyman lol
