U.S. jihadist kicked out of Somali jihadist group


Omar Hammami, so-called American Shabaab, may meet his demise soon. Not at hands of a US missile, but Shabab


You can't stay where they don't want you. In an odd turn of events, a self-proclaimed American jihadist has been soundly booted out of the militant Somali group al Shabaab - as if anyone would want to be connected to that group in the first place - for his unprofessional conduct. Omar Hammami, the employee in question, who is also known as Abu Mansour al Amriki - or "the American," most have had mighty low standards

 Mogadishu Somalia(terrorfreesomalia) - Al Shabaab in a written statement declared that, "Abu Mansour al-Amriki does not, in any way, shape or form, represent the views" of the group. Entitled "A Candid Clarification" - was posted on the media-savvy al Shabaab's Twitter feed in both Arabic and English.

It must be noted that all types of misfits in Western societies have been attracted to the jihadist cause. In either case, Al Shabaab has steadily lost ground to an African Union interventionist force in Somalia.

Months after the capital of Mogadishu fell from al Shabaab control in September, the jihadist group withdrew from their last major urban stronghold, the southern port of Kismayu. The move signaled their demise as a quasi-conventional military force.

Tension between al Amriki and al Shabaab have been playing out publicly on jihadist media circles since both parties are tirelessly self-promoting, jihadist content-creating machines.

Signs of a very visible strain came in March, when al Amriki released a video statement disclosing that his life was under threat from fellow al Shabaab fighters due to "differences that occurred between U.S. regarding matters of the sharia and matters of strategy."

Pundits noted how al Amriki, an Alabama native, born to a Muslim father and Christian mother, was to live with, much less fight with.

In a noted from the "press office" of the "Harakat al-Shabaab al Mujahideen" (that's the official al Shabaab name) accused al Amriki of "childish petulance" and that "the alleged frictions and the video releases are merely the results of personal grievances that stem purely from a narcissistic pursuit of fame and are far removed from the reality on the ground."

The discontented little Jihadist released a second video clip in October decrying his marginalization. According to the latest al Shabaab statement, the timing of these releases were calculated to "cultivate the seeds of disunity" at a time when the group was "most likely to be under pressure from their enemies."

"Now that is indeed a candid acknowledgment of the group's sinking fortunes," columnist Leela Jacinto with France 24 opines.

"There was a time when Somalia was a hotspot on the jihadi tourism trail, with U.S. intelligence officials estimating that dozens of Americans - including Americans of Somali origins - joining al Shabaab ranks," Jacinto writes.

Amriki, she says " burnt [his] bridges - on both ends, I might add. Now we'll see how - and if - you get out of this latest twist. Because if there's one thing I'm sure of, whatever al Amriki does, we'll hear about it."

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.
