Apparently, the new guy is Godane's cousin.

Our country is being systematically dismantled and we waste time arguing who owns what village. Puntland laid clam on Saaxo districy, this was reaction to the formation of Central State.

Armed group appoints Ahmed Omar as successor to Ahmed Abdi Godane who was killed in US strikes last Tuesday. Al-Shabab, the Somali armed group, has named Sheikh Ahmad Umar, also known as Abu Ubaidah, as successor to Ahmed Abdi Godane who was killed in US airstrikes last Tuesday. The armed group on Saturday pledged to take revenge for the death of one its founding leaders. "Avenging the death of our scholars and leaders is a binding obligation on our shoulders that we will never relinquish nor forget no matter how long it takes," the group said in a statement sent to Al Jazeera. Omar, the group's third leader, takes over from Godane, who had succeeded top commander Ismail Arale. Arale was sent to Guantanamo Bay in 2007. The armed group also confirmed the death of two other unnamed officials. The US confirmed on Friday that Godane was killed in September 1 airstrike which happened outside the port city of Barawe - al-Shabab's last major stronghold. The attack on Tuesday targeted vehicles and encampment near Barawe, the armed group's base of operations. The US had said the targets were senior commanders of al-Shabab. In 2012 the US put a bounty of $7m for information leading to the capture or killing of Godane. Also on Friday, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud issued a statement calling for fighters to leave the rebel group. He offered a 45-day amnesty to fighters who renounced the group. Godane, also known as Abu Zubeyr, rose to the top of the al-Qaeda-linked group in 2008 following the death of his predecessor Aden Hashi Ayro in a US airstrike in the southern town of Dhusamareeb. Under his stewardship the rebel group pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda in 2009 and started focusing their attacks outside Somalia. Deadly attacks Last year, the group's fighters stormed a shopping mall in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, killing at least 67 people. In 2010, al-Shabab carried out an explosion in Kampala that left 78 football fans dead during the world cup. The attack was the first by the group outside Somalia. On Saturday, Somalia's government warned of a wave of retaliatory attacks by the group following Godane’s death. "Security agencies have obtained information indicating that al-Shabab is now planning to carry out desperate attacks against medical facilities, education centres and other government facilities," Somalia's National Security Minister, Kalif Ahmed Ereg, told reporters in the capital Mogadishu. "The security forces are ready to counter their attacks and we call on people to help the security forces in standing against violent acts," he said. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2014/09/somalia-al-shabab-names-new-leader-20149617410271106.html

Let's be realistic Malistar. Well said Ismahan.

Somalistar. That's unfair to the man. I think the message here is that whether Somalis live under one state or two states or even several states; at the end of the day we need each other that's if we want to thrive and overcome our enemy's ambitions, and we do have many enemies.

Why leave out the ones in custody? 7th?

I wonder who's supporting him. He wouldn't be hindrance without someone's support.

Misplaced priorities that create unnecessary headaches!

SOMALIA ACCUSES NORWEGIAN OIL EXPLORER DNO OF DESTABILISING COUNTRY September 3, 2014 Norwegian oil company DNO and other small explorers are destabilising Somalia, the African country’s petroleum ministry said on Wednesday, warning it may lodge complaints against these firms to the United Nations Security Council. DNO has been prospecting for oil in Somaliland, a break-away territory of Somalia. The company did not respond to telephone and email requests for comment but in July a senior official said DNO would not engage in any activities that threaten peace in Somaliland. Somalia has been riven by conflict for more than two decades as rival warlords and Islamist militants have fought for control of the Horn of Africa country. The Somali Petroleum ministry said companies signing overlapping oil contracts and striking deals with regional governments were “adding fire to conflicts”. “These small companies are destabilising the country and destroying the international community’s effort to build the peace and the security of the country,” it added. The ministry in a statement singled out DNO, saying the company is “planning to introduce armed militiamen in areas already in conflict and thereby stoking old feuds which resulted in internal displacement and harming the innocent and the most vulnerable people”. The ministry did not provide further details or any proof for its accusations. “We are warning those companies that the Somali government will lodge complaints with their respective countries and the United Nations Security Council,” the ministry added. Around a dozen companies, including many multinational oil and gas majors, had licenses to explore Somalia before 1991, but since then Somaliland and other regional authorities have granted their own licenses for the same blocks. Somali officials last months met representatives of ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and BP for the first time since 1991, the ministry said. The government said it wanted the oil majors to provide a timeline for their return to Somalia. East Africa is rapidly emerging as an exciting oil and gas province after discoveries in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. But U.N. monitors in July warned Western commercial oil exploration in disputed areas of Somalia and discrepancies over which authorities can issue licenses to companies could spark further conflict in the African nation.

Who are they comparing DNA to?

Posted another link, check again.

At the end of meeting, the Minister discussed with the State Department, and the IOC the issues of small hunting oil companies, overlapping prior concessions, signing illegal contracts with non-representative actors which adding fire to local conflicts, environmental degradation, clan hostilities and undermining the sovereignty of the country. These small companies are destabilizing the country and destroying the international community’s effort to build the peace and the security of the country. A case in point is the Norwegian Company (DNO), which is planning to introduce armed militiamen in areas already in conflict and thereby stoking old feuds which resulted internal displacement and harming the innocent and the most vulnerable people.

This guy is hilarious hehe.

The AS problem can only be solved by Somalis. These efforts will eventually fail if there is no proper Somali force. They were attacking Godka Jilicow today as there were being driven of Bulo-mareer.

I thought Elk hunters ( I think I know who they are) from West of the Border? This seems to be an effort to complicate issues.

Is this gimmick to counter Abdiqaybiid, I understand not many Pland clans live in this district?
