Well, I’ve been waiting for a year to see the outcome of Shabaab’s “Game of Thrones” and today a surprising public fracture emerged on the aljihad.com website. Ibrahim al-Afghani, a once senior leader of al Shabaab, close associate of Ahmed Godane and fellow member of Godane’s Isaaq clan, posted a public and direct call to Ayman al-Zawahiri asking him to intervene in Somalia and remove Godane as leader of al Shabaab.Ibrahim al-Afghani’s public posting finally discloses the fractures I’ve been discussing for the past year. Omar Hammami, the American public relations arm for Team Robow (maybe should be renamed Task Force Robow/Aweys/Afghani), has provided ten reasons for Afghani’s public denouncement of Godane – a major development in Somalia. These are quotes from Omar’s tweets so if you don’t like the language, complain to Omar on Twitter. ”Dr. Ayman has to act fast and decisively b4 the jihad is destroyed and enters a deep dark tunnel”“2 scholars are being threatened.”“Muhajirs are being expelled and misused/mistreated.”“Secret jails are off limits to observers.”“Scholars and leaders can’t check on claims of torture.”“Opportunities to open new outside fronts are purposefully neglected.”“The wealth of islam is squandered by the amir.”“There is no real shura and all the real actors are kept from benifitting the jihad.”“kids w/good intentions are put in charge of op.s that go wrong and have negative fall out, &they are in charge of policing elders”“the leader is responsible for the recent defeats and the loss of the previously unprecedented public/tribal support”Interesting that Omar wrote these tweets in English. Why not Arabic? I’m guessing its to get word out to the West, but the solution he is seeking is not likely to come from the West. I love it that he calls some of the Shabaab members “kids”. Oh wise twenty-something Omar who joined terrorist group that betrayed him. Omar continued immediately after the above posts to assert why everyone should listen to Ibrahim al-Afghani:..more

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.
