I've obtained a translation of the announcement of the merger of the Ras Kamboni Brigade with Shabaab, and their commitment to establish an Islamic state in the Horn of Africa as well as to support al Qaeda and the "international jihad." The groups merged on Friday, and today, the announcement was released on the Al Qimmah Forum, an Islamist website run from Sweden. The site is used to post announcements from Islamist groups around the globe. The merger dealt a blow to Hassan Dahir Awey's Hizbul Islam alliance. For more on this, see LWJ report, "Shabaab absorbs southern Islamist group, splits Hizbul Islam" from earlier today.
Below is a translation of the statement released on the Al Qimmah Forum. The statement also provides a who's who of the two groups.
By the grace of Allah, the Al Shabaab Mujahideen Movement and the mujahideen of Ras Kamboni Camp today merged under one name: Al Shabaab Mujahideen Movement. The two sides agreed to continue the fight against the enemies of Allah and to seek the establishment of an Islamic government. Sheikh Fu'ad Mohammed Khalaf and Sheikh Mohammed Dulyadeyn were among the leaders who jointly revealed this at a news conference in Baidoa. The agreement, which contains several items, was read out to the media by Sheikh Fu'ad, who said:
"We hereby state that the two mujahideen brother [groups] have agreed:"
"1. To unite the mujahideen of the two groups.
2. To seek to unify Muslims, especially the mujahideen who still remain out of the merger. We want them to join the mujahideen merger, and Allah will guarantee it.
3. To embark upon the establishment of an Islamic government that implements the law of Allah.
4. To support Muslims, particularly the Muslim people of east and the Horn of Africa living under enemy Christians who are the majority.
5. In order to restore the Muslims' damaged honor, political power, economic power, and military power, Muslims of the east and the Horn of Africa should be united and hostilities the colonizer has fomented among Muslims of this region be brought to an end.
6. To counter the international crusaders' war against Muslims and to combine the jihad of the Horn of Africa with the international jihad."
Sheikh Mohammed Dulyadeyn read out the names of the leaders from the two sides who took part in the talks and are signatories to the agreement. Signatories from the Ras Kamboni side are:
1. Sheikh Hasan Abdullahi Hirsi, also known as Sheikh Hassan Turki
2. Sheikh Mohammed Mohammed Ali, also known as Dulyadeyn
3. Sheikh Mohammed Ahmad Guhad, also known as Abu Sa'ad
4. Sheikh Abdiqadir Abdullahi Mohammed
5. Sheikh Ibrahim Adan Ibrahim
Signatories from al Shabaab Mujahideen Movement are:
1. Sheikh Mukhtar Abdirahman Abu Zubeyr, the Emir of al Shabaab
2. Sheikh Mukhtar Robow Ali, also known as Abu Mansur
3. Sheikh Fu'ad Mohammed Khalaf
4. Sheikh Abdirahman Ahmad Adan, also known as Abdirahman Siro
5. Sheikh Abubakar Zeyli'i

Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa

The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
