Wonder why every time a Darood becomes President these Al Shabaab attacks become more frequent and worse.
There has been more Al Shabaab attacks and deaths under Farmajo, who hasn't even been there a year, than Hassan's 4 year Presidency.
Half the people in Xamar are part-time alshabaab when it suits them is my conclusion. Yes this was an Al Shabaab attack, aided by Abgaal, or Habar Gidir to undermine the Farmajo administration. These folks are ruthless and uncompromising.
Farmaajo needs to either move the capital, or bring in a Abgaal PM or Habar-Gidir so they can tell their boys to stop aiding Al Shabaab.
Xamar is not Ceelbuur Murursade can't do shit for you. Farmaajo political immaturity is alarming. The structure of power has been set, he just needed to follow it. It took the entire presidency and effort of the the whole Abdullahi Yusuf administration to unseat and end Habar Gidir's political and military might in Xamar, and much of Southern Somalia. After they refuse to except the return of Dawlad and law and order. We gave that power to Abgaal on behalf of Hawiye. Farmaajo cames out of the blue and gives the Prime Minister to Murursade?
There are deadly consequences for things like that. We set the power sharing structure for a reason, hope he learns his lesson and get's back on track.
