Time to give up. Let Al Shabaab win and take over

[Cirwaaq]

Al-sheba's kill rate is not sufficient to alarm anyone at this point.

that wont happen and war will continue.
alshabab not ready to govern the whole country(no plan) and tfg is died long time ago in kenya before they even started.

One thing is clear and that is they are building their military muscle and all of the battles they are having with AMISONM, Ethiopians, and Suufi groups are sharpening their skills. I see another Hezbullah in the making.

Let them win, so that Somalia can go back to the stone age.

Interesting read. Al-Sheba winning does not necessarily constitute a total failure such possibility however far from ideal in most of our eyes is quickly becoming a reality all due to the Mammoth failure of the TFG and their 16 trials over the last 20years.

From a globla point of view containment of al-sheba is better achieved far more easily through accepting them and surrendering to them. A tactical surrender which will divert their total energy in adminsteration of their territory as opposed to having their sight on external targets.

Al-shebab is more of a threat to the globe in failure which will disperse them and make them an invisible threat. Giving them the opportunity to turn statesmen will certainly dull their killer instinct and move them from a group of terror to an easier target for diplomatic extinction.

You just have to look at the Taliban they loose 100s to 1000s and each day they have more recruits with no peace in sight. There are times when surrender is a better option for the civilians then continued war. AL-shebab will internally defeat itself.
