Somalia militants loyal to al-Shabaab, the radical Islamist group strongly opposing the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia have seized some 15 women in Afgoye district in Lower Shabelle region, some 30 kilometres south of Mogadishu.The women were accused of ululating at a wedding in the country's town of Afgoye.Residents said that the women were taken to a detention centre in the district headquarter and have been charged with public expression of joy, which the fanatical Islamists prohibited.Ululation is very popular among Somali women, especially among women in the southern and central regions who combine with songs and dances locally known as baraanbur to grace weddings and other celebrations.Somalia's Al Qaeda-backed militant group Al-Shabaab also apprehended on Monday 10 youth in the so-called Afgoye-Mogadishu corridor, southwest of the Somali capital, where most of those who fled the war in Mogadishu found shelter.The youngsters were accused of playing football, which the Islamists prohibited in May.

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.
