Al-Shabab, a terrorist group based in Somalia is still maintaining its position to be the deadliest terror group in the African continent, U.S based think tank said.

Despite losing many towns to allied forces, the militant group carried out an average of killing 13 people per day in last year, with five attacks each day in a period of one year.

In a report, the Washington-based, Africa Centre for Strategic Studies ranked Al-Shabab as the most dangerous terror group in Africa.

The group which emerged in 2007 has killed 4834 people in Somalia from March last year, the number stands at 49% of the combined 10,535 people killed across African continent by terror groups including Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, Islamic State (ISIS), and al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).

Prof. Mohamed Mursal Ali, security expert and lecturer at Mount Kenya University who spoke to Hiiraan Online has supported the report by the think tank saying the militants still pose a security threat to Somalia and its neighbouring countries.

” Al-Shabab is the first terror group formed in East Africa thus, they received the sympathy of many of East African young people whom they brained washed,” said Ali, “So the group has deep root in the region. Therefore their security threat on Somalia cannot be eliminated by military action but need to be dealt with public awareness.”

He underscored that the group will keep on their attacks against civilians in Somalia as well as neighbouring countries till the leaders of the region address Al-Shabab’s recruiting mission in and outside of Somalia.

Al-Shabab is an offshoot of the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) which was disintegrated by Ethiopia’s troops who invaded Somalia in 2006.

Over time, attacks by militant Islamists against civilians in the horn of African nation were rising gradually bit by bit, just a few in 2006 to full blown after African Union sent its troops to Somalia help the government in peace restoration in 2007.

The group carried out deadly IED attacks in the capital including hotels, graduation ceremonies, government institutions and markets.

The Al-Shabab militant group also attacked several countries backing Somali government among them are Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia.

In 2010, the militants killed 74 people in Kampala, Uganda’s capital city after twin Al-Shabab suicide blasts targeted football fans watching the World Cup final between the Netherlands and Spain at a restaurant and a rugby club.

A year later, Kenya had sent troops to Somalia following a string of abductions by Al-Shabab fighters inside the East African nation.

The terror vowed to carry out retaliatory attacks against Kenyan government over its decision to deploy its troops in Somalia.

In 2013 the militants attacked Westgate shopping complex in Nairobi, where they caused more than 60 civilian deaths and left hundreds injured.

Two years later, Al-Shabaab staged a deadlier attack in Garissa town after Somali and Kenyan members of the group stormed the campus of Kenya’s Garissa University and killed 147 students.

Ten years down the line, the militants are still struggling for survival as US military and allied force (Somali and Amisom troops) are ramping up operations to annihilate Al-Shabab from Somalia.

  5. You made some really good points there. I checked on the net for more info about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this web site.

  11. You actually make it appear really easy with your presentation but I to find this topic to be really one thing which I feel I would never understand.
    It sort of feels too complicated and extremely vast for me.
    I am having a look ahead to your subsequent put up,
    I’ll try to get the grasp of it!

    Here is my homepage 우리카지노

  13. Right here is the perfect site for anyone who wishes to understand this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want to…HaHa). You definitely put a fresh spin on a subject that’s been written about for ages. Great stuff, just excellent!

  20. Joaquin Phoenix said he was leaving acting commence up a vocation in hip-hop.
    Should viewers, then, in order to so shocked by the eccentric appearance of Phoenix on David Letterman?

    It is to create a list of finest films of Russell Crowe without giving praise to his performance
    of John Nash in the Beautiful Memory. I could not believe he
    did not win the Academy Award for Best actor In A number one Role to do this film, but
    after wining it the year before for Gladiator, I guess it pays.

    In the 2000 movie Requiem for finding a Dream Jennifer Connelly gets naked a
    great deal playing an addict who exchanges
    sex for drugs and cash. Requiem for a dream made $7.4 million us dollars.

    Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, and Greg Kinnear star in this award-winning movie about a
    cranky author with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a single mother, as well as
    a gay artist. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Skeet Ulrich add
    into the cast. This couple movie is on your most unlikely
    of couples, who discover something special when they let go of their insecurities every once in awhile.
    There are many memorable scenes in this particular 1997 hit, making it the associated with movie that you may want to rent again in the long run.

    I must be include Braveheart on this list. Despite the fact that I cannot stand Mel Gibson any longer, Cannot let him get the best of me and ruin this
    film. It is merely too good. An absolute masterpiece
    and worth visiting for anybody who likes epic films.

    In fact, in annually set of pictures, you are able to see what’s
    happened to joker123 top up.
    One time actor doesn’t even look tennis shoes and he probably
    doesn’t even get recognized by folks have been even simply how much
    fans.

    “Working Girl” (1988): Sloth-like . cast, and another film reflecting the rise of Women’s Lib and working women. Melanie Griffith plays Tess McGill and,
    whilst the blurb says, “When a secretary’s idea is stolen by her boss, she seizes the chance to steal it back by pretending that she has his job.” Another terrific cast, including Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver,
    Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack, Nora Dunn, Oliver Platt, Kevin Spacey and Olympia Dukakis.

    By the way, that rating is relative to your entertainment
    value of “I’m Still Here.” This movie defies easy criticism in so many ways
    going without shoes becomes pointless to give it any actors.
    You just have to see it for yourself to make your
    current own mind about one.
