To all those non-Somali folks who want to make sense out of this phenomena...the reason why young Somali males have recently started to go back to Somalia and fight was because Ethiopia (Somalia's arch enemy) invaded that war-torn country back in 2006. All Somalis felt that Ethiopia's actions was equivalent to kicking a man while he was down. That was a low-blow move on the behalf of Ethiopia, especially when Ethiopia has 85 million people and Somalia has only about 8-10 million people.

@wabdinur

You can put it that way too. Yet why joining gangs that are literally operating in cutthroat business? It seems t here was a good reason why Ethiopia got involved in all that mess as well...

@Wrath0fKhan

Al-shabab took advantage of their sense of nationalism. When the Ethiopians withdrew, most of those young men felt their fight was over. Al-shabab would ask them "You can't just leave now...you're branded as a terrorist around the world." or "If you leave, you'll be considered as a traitor and traitors deserve death." Now you got stories where young men are telling their harrowing stories of how they escaped from these fanatical militants. Majority of Somalis are anti-Alshabab.

@wabdinur

I dont doubt that a majority of people would like to live a normal life, whether Somali or not. The problem is, those radical groups use a plethora of demagogic techniques and some people unfortunately succumb to the induced pressures. Indeed, if those groups manage to impose their will on the society, people who disagree with them practically must fear for their lives, even if they constitute a potential majority. Thats literally "Despotism 101"...

@wabdinur

Obviously education is the only viable solution and if you have any links to the "community" and your situation allows you to, you should help out...

I made a video about this

I am an Atheist and former Muslim convert

I was in Iraq with Ansar al-Islam

I studied in Cairo with al-Haramain due to recruitment efforts by them in NZ

I made a video about this issue and I also outed a former(?) Islamic militant who I knew and posted his details on my website

[cwar068]

I'll do my best :)

My heart breaks for that mother, may she find peace.

@cwar068 Wow.

If this is true, then your story is truly amazing.

[Wrath0fKhan]

Ended? Yeah, in one way it ended the civil war, in another way it started training and exporting Jihad. America is not responsible for stopping civil wars. Its much more about the local people and their willingness to concede and seek forgivness and reconciliation. Exchanging one croocked regime for another aint "in" anymore. The Islamists should find another home...

Piracy? Just google the numbers, I mean seriously, check out some sources like the International Commercial Crime Services...

[teawead]

I don't know what proof you have but Al-Shabab ended piracy, it ended the long bloody civil war and it boost the already weakest economy but now it's in ruins, the civil war is continuing. Yeah, thank that to America.

And they are exporting Somalis to go and fight for SOMALIA not against the States, boy you people should just leave Somalia alone.

America failed to stop the civil war, now they want to make an Afghanistan in Somalia.

[Wrath0fKhan]

No, America - we should rather say the "World Community", since it aint about America, they just happen to be involved - cant leave them alone, teawead. Terror camps, piracy and exporting Jihad is a "no-no"...
