Al Shabaab says they will not accept the Somali flag

MOGADISHU (TF.SF)—Muktar Robow Abu Mansor, a former spokesman and a prominent member of al shabaab said Monday they will not accept the Somali blue flag to be erected in the country. Speaking to clan elders in the Somali capital Mogadishu, Robow said the only flag which they accept will be the black flag that is known to their group.

Central town, death toll increases, Al Shabaab terrorest left their dead bodies in the streets of Dhusamareb.

Some clan elders attended a workshop organized by al Shabaab in Mogadishu and the Shabaab officials told the elders to practice the Islamic Sharia. Many Somali people are against how al Shabaab interpreted the Islamic Sharia. Separately, residents in Jowhar town about 90 km north of Mogadishu say they saw hundreds of al Shabaab fighters armed with heavy machineguns and about 50 battle wagons heading to central regions of Somalia. The move comes as al Shabaab was routed in heavy fighting that took place in Dhusamareb town in central Somalia. The bodies of more al Shabaab fighters were displayed in Dhusamareb by Ahlu Sunna Walajamaca fighters.
