where is brotherhood if al shabaab is killing fellow muslims? Jihad is not killing innocent civillins

These al shaababs want to create fear on kenyans and also lure the young people by showing them they are still strong,which is not the case.they are realy sympathisers.

Al-shabaab should pay dearly for killing our heroes. Kudos KDF, AMISON and TFG. Soldier on.

Wow,Al-Shabaab are powerful men, how many countries have taken armies into Somalia? Why are you only talking about Kenya. Ask the Americans what was done to them there today they are afraid of defeat, they have sent puppets such as Kenya, Burundi, Uganda and so forth. You who are complaining have no doubt started tasting the cake of Al-Shabaab men. Tell your leaders to take the troops home. Al-Shabaab will bring you loss.

If these al-shabab are real men,let them come out and face KDF rather than hiding in holes like rats.wipe them out.

all we need is peace

let those fundamentalists and terrorists know that they are fighting a losing battle.

This is the issue to all East African country which is near to Kenya and please STOP

I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE KENYAN TROOPS TO STOP FIGHT AGAINST AL SHABAB BECOUSE THEY WILL CREATE A BIG PROBLEM INSIDE KENYA STATE AND INNOCENT PEOPLE WILL STILL KILLED WHEREBY TOP LEADER JUST HIDE THEMSELVES. STOP DOING THAT

WELL SOME OF THE COMMENTS ARE DECENTLY WRITED ANYWAY ISLAM OR CHRISTIAN IS NOT TO BLAME. I PUT THE BLAME ON EVERY HUMAN WHO INTEND TO KILL A CIVILIAN LET IT BE ISRAEL THAT KILLS POOR PALESTINIANS STOP THE WAR

Al shabaab is now a dying horse. Soon it is going to be past tense.

Let them all go to hell, they have no place on earth.

i hate al-shabaab for their deadly acts.Thinking they can inherit the kingdom of heaven by killing innocent people,i promise them hell.They should know that they are losers.

we will never walk alone

ITS VERY UNFORTUNATE THIS GROUP WANT TO TURN THEIR SELFISH AGENDA TO APPEAR AS A RELIGIOUS WAR BETWEEN MUSLIM AND THEIR CHRISTIAN BROTHERS I SCHOOLED IN A MUSLIM SCHOOL AND I IKNOW TRUE MUSLIM BROTHERS RESPECT LIFE AND WHAT ALLAH SAYS THEY DO LETS HOLD ONE ANOTHER IN TRUE BROTHERHOOD DESPITE OUR FAITH DIFFERENCE

HEI HEI! Muslim, Christian, Somali, the Armed and Unarmed...Take this down, " HE WHO HOLDS A HOT COAL IN HIS FIST INTENDING TO THROW IT TO HIS ENEMY BURNS HIS OWN FIST" I look at Somali with sharp eye as an economic hub for this eastern region. We will not need to travel to Dubai, Somalia has un-ventured potential from its ports and linkages to Gulf and Middle Eastern and Asia by sea.I want to see a high way opened up for the adventurers Kenyan Kikuyu , a Meru trader and Somali buses ply daily from Garissa,Wajir through Korbio, Kiunga to Ras Kamboni and other neighbor Towns to Somalia. This vision is harbored by same problem that is costing us expensive wars by Amsom and Operation Linda nchi. what is in your brain is what you can give, for ranks in Al Sabab they contain war and and arabic Koranic teaching.If you think Education is expensive try ignorance as you can see it(ignorance) in these ranks. Education give people liberation and a person can reason. What is this ignorance of ruling the world and over your christian faithful? God! who is this proceeding this ignorance? what will you be in that ruler-ship? And then? Yet you teach of faithfuls going to heaven coming from that ruler-ship? Amisom or some other better means need to remain there until these brains are liberated from this ignorance, Colonize and force Education in Somalia so that these poor brains can become useful than the way they are getting wasted with ignorance and giving us this trouble

Alshabaab, are good jihadis group. in someday they will capture Kenya iyo Ethiopia land, they will punish all troops who fought against Muslim society. on the other hand, why innocent people in Plasteen are being killed on daily bases by Israel government without crime?!!! KDF are not going to liberate Al-shabab from Somalia, but they are going to capture Somalia.so, all Somalis will stand side by side with Alshabab to defend their country from their No. 1 enemy (Kenya and Ethoipia.)

know the truth and the truth shall set you free

Al-Shabaab is now crushed. It is a matter of time Kismayu to fall under KDF and AMISOM. Intelligent units just up the game and peace will prevail. In war if you kill women and children you are bound to lose.

i see Al shabaab are facing thetest of their blood.They thought KDFwas un experinced force, but now they are puying their act through the nose.KDF and Amisom put more gear disperse Al shabaab out of somolia and restore peace in the war- torn country.

Al-Shabaab has gained an upper hand.    

One who wallows in blood and holds fanfare for murdering an innocent woman and child,then goes ahead to proclaim Christianity or Islam as the basis, is a pervert without any religious upbringing. No Religion dispenses death to the innocent children, women and men of God. It protects life.It does matter whether its Kenyan or Somali blood. For one i would not spend a sleepless night if such characters were arrested, triad fairly,sentenced to death and hanged until their evil souls depart their bodies..

they promised to be a hard nut to crack considering the wars they have fought previously describing their ranks to be seasoned. why do they keep flee from the advancing colleagues on the front-line.

out of the ten commandments says you shall not kill why does al-shabaab kill innocent people.they will not enter the kingdom of God.They are lost may God show them true way.

i dislike alshabaab and their inhuman deeds of killing innocent people in the name of religion .may the almighty god tiuch their hearts to styop harming innocent people.

ITS THE TIME FOR SOMALIA PEOPLE TO BE FREE AS OTHER COUNTRY IN AFRICA TIME TO BE BUILD THERE COUNTRY AS THE RUWANDA PEOPLE NOT RUNNING TO OTHER COUNTRIES ITS TIME TO FOCUS WHAT TO DO NEXT NOT GOING TO U,S,A AUSTRILIA ALWAYS YOU WILL FIND THEM ON THIS NGO SUCH AS I.O.M LOKING FOR VISA ITS TIME TO BUILD YOUR COUNTRY STOP

its not easy to elliminate these alshababs,they dress like any ordinary islamicman/woman but are armed so they have advatage over AMSON who are always in combat and easily identified.

God created man on earth to improve it and to live in peace with other people with love and mercy and security and peace and stability, but the emergence of various groups which call themselves terrorists in order to frighten people is not a manifestation of security at all so it is imperative for the teacher of Islam who leads people and reminds them of religious matters to lead them in the right way which is not harmful and which does not harm others and he should instruct them about forgiveness and peace among them.

Terrorism is a new thing which was not known in the past, where did it start? how has it been established? who sponsors it? nobody knows, but what is known is that terrorism does not belong to a religion or a country, it is a phenomenon that has spread and for which innocent people of every kind from every country in the world are paying the price and the closest example is what happened in Sinai the attacking of good soldiers who were innocent and who have lost their lives in order to end terrorism. So everyday there occurs use of force and law breaking and terrorism and kidnapping and abuse for which Somali soldiers and Somali citizens pay the price. So congratulations to you Somali soldiers for your great efforts day and night through the power of God you will be able to restore security and peace to your country may God bless you and protect you and give you power and strengthen your will and through your love Somalia will be restored. A sun of hopeful life is rising do not stop being just and with integrity for fear of being blamed by the who assigns blame. How many souls have been destroyed by these terrorists so your solidarity is increasing your security from them and you will live like other countries in the world with security and peace.

The terrorists are addicted to killing, destruction and devastation. The terrorists hate life; for them, existence means death. The terrorists enjoy killing all the innocent civilians who differ from them in thought or in creed. The terrorists find it very easy to shed innocent blood under the pretext that these innocent souls are infidels. The terrorists regard other people who try to live a good life as being apart from the religion; they treat the humans according to their own religion, and not as human beings living together. They are narrow-minded, just like the extremists. They are the ones who wanted to apply the Sharia, but they apply it wrongly. The terrorists enjoy burning the places wherever they are found, killing the civilians and destroying them, claiming that they are infidels and immoral. These terrorists are all extremists, both mentally and physically, and even if they don't belong to an organization, they all share the same dirty mentality.

Let them killed to the end hell is waiting for them, sweep them all

I beg Al-Shabaab to stop this act! Its very unfare killing the innocent. Please, please, stop this so that we can continue enjoying the peace we have had for years.

I am a Kenyan and of Somali descent. I have an Oduori, Gaceri, muthoni, shikanga, baraza and Abdallas (to mention but a few) as my friends. People i have schooled with, eat with and even shared shirts and breasd (with avocado) with (remeber high school) as my friends and as colleagues from childhood and even now. My faith teaches me to peaceful. Islam means salaam or salama (meaning peace in swahili). To Alshabab killing me or my friends with intent or ¨collateral¨ in the name of Islam (peace) is contrary to what my father taught me and he was a maalim (meaning mwalimu wa dini). Am sure he was more religious than you holding a gun and killing innocent women and children and flashing them out of what they call home in effect making them refugees as they get raped in camps... In the name of Islam please leave me alone, leave my country alone, leave my KICC alone, leave my friends alone, leave the innocent women and children alone... You have made people suffer, ensured citizen remain illiterate, maimed many, stopped well wishers from even delivering medicine to the weak and the poor and you are claiming to be a muslim??.. even the non-muslim knows you are lying!!! I pray the charcoal in Kismayu will be ceased and soon you wil be toppled.

Dialogue and diplomacy are the only way to truly end a conflict. "It is impossible to shake the hand of your adversary, when yours fists are clenched!!"

I think that our government is not putting enough measures in place to safeguard and protect its subject as a counntry.We are really tired of empty talk,we need more action.We didnt vote you into those senior offices to hear you to hear you talk.we need actions.If you gave us the same protection you give yourselves,then we would not be counting the same nomber of bodies were,counting today.Protect you subject.

let the govt empower our army to abolish these terrorist for a peaceful nation.

Muslims will succeed and the disbelieving Christians will be doomed as it has been promised by God. There is no one who can stand in the way of God’s army (Esteem is for our army). If the Kenyans fail to support the Muslims, they will be our servants, God willing. The disbelievers will lose the battle.

To those who support the African troops, I wish you long life to enjoy the result of good work. And to the forces of the African Union Mission, I say that without your presence and your support for Somalia, Somalia would never reach where it is now. All Somalis should unite and stand against all offenders. All the best wishes and prays for peace to prevail, so people know to learn how to trust in God and not in people or ideas.

The writing is on the wall. Al shabaab are getting defeated, what remains is how to take care of their remains who will be operating without order and will also be wanting to dispense off their weapons, they are likely to cause a lot of harm to the civilians, this however should not deter us we are at war and the reeps of war are death. AMISOM should take Kismaiyo very fast.

MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD (ALLAH) LEAD ALL TO THE RIGHT WAYS INSHALLAH

Do these thugs worship God the Almighty or the devil.How do you kill even the very innocent and weak and then Thank God for it! Remember Sadam Hussein? He gaspoisoned his people and promised the USA-led forces a "mother of all battles" if they invaded Iraq and when they did he ran away to hide in a fox hole.He finally died painfully after a court ruling. Alshababu will meted the same fate wherever they are and whom ever they are.

Good comments pple as much as am angry with alshabbab i am too disappointed by our Government for allowing so many Somalis to acquire land in Kenya especially in Mombasa, that's why it is even hard to flash out the terrolist withing our dwelling........what will we say to them if they start viying for seats in parliament .....its time we start a new action within and let them Go back to their country they have abused our hospitality ...and kindness.... and our economy is on the knee.....Our next President should tell us what he intend to do with these alients.....

Know the truth and the truth shall set you free

for how long will the alshabaab engange in battle?what is this kind of religion that makes people war slaves for life?may be it is just religion fanatism and fallacy.

we believe in KDF.Capture Kismayu and peace will prevail in somalia.God is there for us and we are praying for you.

Kenya is giving the breath that is still enabling Al Shabaab to to desperately clutch the straws, why not give them the knock out ( Capture Kismayo), which will send them to extinction.

the only reason of kdf is to ensure pease is in somalia and kenya this to me is acceptable by God kdf you are winning soon

AL-SHABAAB ARE REALY FAERFULL

KDF...Once a soldier always one. Kisimayu is nigh,.. al-Shabaab running scared.. Crush them, crush them down. We need a peaceful Somalia forever. Down with the al-Shabaab!

You can't kill another human being and profess you are doing it in the name of God. It is absurd. Let the defeat of Al shabab serve a lesson to others like minded groups. KDF finish them off.......soon.

IN GOD EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE

It has never occurred to me that the Al-Shabaab group is in any way a religious group. I do not understand which religion they stand for because the true Islamic faith is not for killings of fellow brotherhood members. the pacifists who do not advocate the use of force also agree that this group is similar to Nazism and therefore should be asked to read from history and see the outcome of the second world war. in a civilized society in the twenty-first century we can win more of the battles with love than guns. but again the person who kills with the sword will definitely die by the swords in the law of retribution

They have finished all their thinkable plans. KDF go for their last holding locations

its a serious threat but they will be swept of in seconds...

It is time to strike the alshabaab realy hard.Keep up KDF and the allied forces!

Am yet to know wether the elimination of the alshabab is inclusive of the KENYA BLIND VISION 2030..............Kwani hii story ya OPERATION LINDA INCHI INATAKE HOW LONG??????????

Al shabaab is the very reason that make Many kenyans dislike Islam. How can you kill innocent people in the name of God. Thats not religion. You are only driving your own evil agenda and you are defeated. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

WE ARE NOT WANT ALSHABAAB

IN ALL THESE THE SOMALI WOMAN IS AT A LOSING END, THEY ARE FORCED TO GIVE BIRTH EACH YEAR SO AS TO KEEP UP WITH LOST LIVES AT WAR [AL-SHABAAB] .GALS R MARRIED AS EARLY AS 15YRS JUST TO PRODUCES MORE AND IF GOD 4BID SOMETHING HAPPENS THEY BECOME WIDOWED EVEN BE4 MOTHERHOOD OR JUST MARRIED BY NAME COZ HE NEVER SHOWS UP AGAIN.I WONDER IS THESE YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE WAR, THEN IT IS A VERY BIG PRICE TO PAY MY SISTERS I ONLY HOPE THAT IT IS WORTH WHILE.EN IF NOT YOU HAVE THE POWER TO ACT.SAVE YOUR DAUGHTHERS .

The truth of the matter is that the Al Shabab militants are mere criminals who have thrived on anarchy and lawlessness. Think of the ransom demands and the millions on piracy they have made. Kindly cheat nobody that their fight is in the name of God. Never! Not in Koran or Bible is anarchy advocated. I wish that clever fellow write those online scares would advise them to surrender, go back to school and join the Somalia Army when order and sanity is restored. I also hope the world has learnt to never again allow lawlessness reign as there are many crooks out there waiting to take advantage--the innocent citizens have been suffering and not out of their choice.

AFTER AL- SHABBAB, EVERY PEACE LOVING KENYAN AND SOMALI SHUD BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE ENEMY WITHIN, FOR I KNOW N HAVE HEARD SOME CLERICS PREACHING HATE IN THE NAME OF RELIGION. OUR YOUTHS WERE BRAIN WASHED BY SUCH EVEN MEN TO CROSS OVER TO FIGHT FOR A CAUSE THAT IS PURELY ANTI HUMAN AND NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD.

In my opinion, I think women should not participate in politics. There is nothing better for them than their children and houses because they are the leaders of their families.

All the gays write the ideas here. Why do all the gays express their opinion on this site or it belongs to them?  if I tell you, there is no argument whether Al-Shabaab are men or not because I  don’t know of other men except them so far.

Thanks to the KDF for the good work. For sure alshabaab is in a state of disbelief as they had never expected that from KDF. On the other hand, and on a serious note, civillian Kenyans should be carefull and cooperative with the security forces to give any information on anybody who looks suspicious and dangerous so that necessary measures can be taken, remember, reporting a person because you suspect him or her is not an offense.

As for me i disagree with some coments here,when it comes to peace making in somalia, instead i should say there should be an alternative way of having peace rather than sending millions of troops into somalia in the name of bringing peace there shame on african brains. It is almost 5 years now and we see nothing coming, rememeber there is asaying which says if you cant beat them join them i mean the only way you can make peace is through dialogue and the use of democracy and not by guns And for your information do you know that America is also fuding the Al shabab in the aim of deminishing muslims if it is to make peace is very simple but here we understand that no country is interested peace in somalia so my message to all these illitrate commenters is that you should be more bright than these and thing for your poor country pooh.

al-Shabaab are thugs who need to be eliminated at all costs so that somalia people live in peace. twenty years without a government is a blow to all peace loving somalis.

Al-Shabaab will never defeat Kenya. they are just joy riding around and wasting their time and resources. but as for Kenyans, we must pray hard to God in order to win.

We do not want to be associated with people who have no sanctity for life. Islam is peaceful and true Muslims will tell you so. The terrorists are self seekers who do not want to see civility and are haters of peace. Musloms need to stand up agains them and keep them out of our borders. Let us flash out their sympathisers and report any strange and guilty looking person tot he police for investigations. Muslims are tired of being used as scapegoats when things are wrong and it is time all Muslims who care about peace, development and sanctity of life stand up and tell them NO, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Go back yo your finaciers abroad and create chaos in their neighbourhoods and not in our peaceful country!!!!

ask the dusty booted infantry men, they will tell you better how impossible is it to explain 'why war' it hates to see innocent civilians, families of fallen soldiers weep and aside disguise ghost companies making profits out of the defense tenders and contracts... but it comes down to do what is right over what they did wrong, i send my prayers to all soldiers be it behind their M16s or Heckler and Koch or Kalashnikov, push on fight on lest we forget war is hell

these cowards should bloodshed begets bloodshed!!! they also have blood!!! further lets get them telling us where Osama, Saddam Hussein, and soon Revolutionary Guard of Iran will be!!!

we will keep on praying for you And the God of Jacod,the God of abraham the true God and the creator of the heavens and eath will remember you.May the Almighty God remember your families,parents,Wives and brothers and sister not to forget the entire Kenya

We just need to be extra careful and let's not let our guard down. Can the security operatives in our country liase with the American & Mossad operatives for further clarity & tactics on how to counter repel such aggresion & propaganda ? .But always lets keep trusting in God for He is the best Security we can ever have...Am proud to be KENYAN AND NOT FOR ONCE WILL I EVER BE COWERED BY ANYTHING! IN GOD WE TRUST !

Al Shabaab are the only Diffenders Somali Dignity From unbelievers attacks,

In my opinion war is not to end problems. Oh Somalia end the war please?

The story of al-shabaab keeps developing each time it is heard. As it turns out probably, they are fighting to protect Muslims long after the Jihad wars are buried in the past. Please let us know the email address so that I can send more developing news about the al-shabaab attacks.

GOD FOR US ALL.

Kenya armies are more stronger in the field hence Al Shabaab prompted to withdraw. It is true that this is "The Conflicted Conflict has Conflicting the Conflicted Communities in the Somaliland.".All these chaos has caused by Al Shabaab....Kenyan entefearance to this conflict has remain as a lesson to Somali people that they are not only protected, but also cared. But why Shabaab targeting Kenya?, because Kenya is long impossible crossible hudle for their evil plans of terrorising the both the Horn and East African Regions. VIVA KENYA...........ALUTA CONTINUA!!

Kenyan Government should take serious consideration to the fact that innocent lives have been lost and kenyans are living in great fear @ day due to this coward alshabab sympathisers on the loose and roaming in our steets every day..they should thighten the security and keep kenyans safe..

Al shabab is a small animal threatening the lives of innocent people; soon they will be swept off by our energetic and tactical soldiers. Actually they are absolutely paralyzed. Because they exactly don't want to show their surrender off and accept defeat, at long run our soldiers will succeed to capture the whole country. But I am advising you to learn how to put in place laws to govern you(Somalis) here on earth. Since we are Muslims, there is no doubt our God will guide you to frame good laws for this nation and the Somalis where ever they are May Allah bless this nation and its beautiful people.

A question that needs to be asked is why the Christian Kenyan government gives security alerts about planned attacks to its people and its leaders guarded by military commandos with tanks and general purpose machine guns if Al-Shabaab was defeated? If the holy war fighters (Al-Shabaab) were defeated, how can they attack Kenya? I think this information is given by someone who has taken dollars and sold his religion. Look back at the history of Horn of Africa. What did it use to be? The non-Muslims are aware that Islam will come to rule the world but I fear them the Muslim holy war fighters to defeat the non-Muslins in Muslim countries without engaging them in fight even before their countries are attacked. This is evident in Kenya where if you tell people this person is Al-Shabaab while walking in the street, they all run. This is because of feelings of being under constant threats. With the will of God, we will take over all the world of non-Muslims without engaging them in fight and we are therefore telling the hypocrites to hide where ever they can hide.

we must win the millitants.

No. I believe women should not participate in leadership of Somalia because God ordered that their voices not be heard in the neighborhood, so how can such people be given responsibility.

GOOD WORK BY OUR KENYA DEFENCE FORCE! WE AS THE CIVILIANS HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY. TO BE VIGILANT AND SHARE ANY INFORMATION THAT WOULD HELP SAVE LIVES WITH THE SECURITY APPARATUS. THIS SI NOT A RELIGIOUS WAR. BUT A FIGHT TO WIPE OUT FORCES OF DARKNESS (AL-SHABAB) KENYANS!!!!!LETS FIGHT THE ALSHABAB TOGETHER. LETS WORK HAND IN HAND WITH THE SECURITY APPARATUS. LETS REPOR ANY SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS,MOVEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES. AS FOR ME....AND AS A KENYAN. I WILL BE MORE VGILANT AND READY TO WORK WITH THE SECURITY FORCES TO FIGHT TERROR! WHAT ABOUT YOU?

in my opinion i think the terrorist group is trying to throw its final kicks before its final disintegration. it is the last weapon to try to instill fear to civillian and try to justify their course. KDF aluta continua all Kenyans and peace loving Somalis are fully behind you.

Do you remember what happened the time Jesus cast the demonic spirit into the pigs? The 'pigs' rushed down the valley of endless bottom. Likewise to this hopeless 'pigs' threatening the life of the people of God. It will only be good if this DYING LITTLE PIGS OR MOLES OR SQUIRRELS OR PORCUPINES FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD DUE TO THEIR HABIT OF HIDING TO know the importance of early suurender or else the reinforced AMISON instills more discipline on this confused sheep!

too sad religion can be used in a very uncouth manner, the important aspect of humanity is tolerance, nobody can claim to be impressed with each and every disposition of any other person but so god help us this is the world we live and we so therefore need live in peace and harmony.

the war must be worn since thats the only sure way of protecting our country.

KICKS OF A DYING HORSES-AL-SHABAAB IS GONE!!! KDF CAPTURE KISMAYO SOON..PROUD TO BE KENYAN.

on my side i think the on-going conflicts in somalia more diplomatic is needed rather than the use of force. i hope it is a time now to stay together with Al Shabaa and looking for the possible solution commonly seeiking for their major demand. Terms and condition will be applied from the conversation. God bless Somalia and Africa as a whole.

wallah shame on them , they are just loooooooooooooooooooosers . what is this they terrify people by issuing those stubid magazins. alshabab is loosing the war big time and they are doing everything to be on media. hey alshabab go ask Allah for forgivness and who ever did not commet a big crime let him go back to the somali society and try to do something good for the people instead of westing his time in following group of stubid killers. Allah will forgive if you try to change your way of life. thanks for you jornalist who wrote those nice articles about terrorisim may Allah support you in every try to uncover the truth egly face od alshabab.

LETS US EARNESTLY PRAY TO GOD SO THAT THESE THINGS DO NOT REACH TANZANIA “OOOOOHHH ALMIGHTY GOD FULL OF MERCY WHO PLANS GOOD FOR US SAVE US FROM THESE THINGS” amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are rubbish and dirty. Follow the system as it has been laid. You are nothing, you dogs.

this is the sound of a defeated and a desperate felow.am confident that the amison will win and bring peace in this war torn horn of africa nation. lets not fear the threat of a dying man for soon he will be no more

it is with great concern that i read this article, al shabaab appears to be weakening but that could be there strength,they are giving false impression(false beacon) in the Gaidi Mtaani publication by talking about the imminent loss of kismayo to the AMISOM forces, the kenyan intelligence should step up its game!

Al-shabaab has no power any more,actually they are absolutely paralysed. Because they exactly don't want to show their surrender off and accept the diffeet, that's why they are wearing on their faces a mask of no retreat just to cover their tears and shame too.

al-Shabaab is really cornered ,Killing women ,Sunday school and Madrassa kids wont do them any good.
