From The Mujahideen In The Land Of Somalia: “Don’t be sad! Indeed Allah is with us!”


In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

All praise be to Allah, The Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds. Peace and prayer be upon our prophet, Muhammad, his family, and his companions.

To proceed:

We bring glad tidings to the Ummah of Islam that the Mujahideen are all right and well and are enjoying high spirits. We have a lot of capabilities and we are determined to continue forward.

The Mujahideen have been able to, by grace of Almighty Allah, strike an Oraal troop transport vehicle as it traveled between Mogadishu and Baidawa. It was completely destroyed and all those on board numbering between 30 to 40 men were killed. That attack was carried out on April 30 and was the first operation after the withdrawal of the brothers from the battlezone.

Some might feel depressed and feel weak if they saw the control of the enemy on the capital but this is short sightedness because they consider victory and power in the hands of the one who controls some specific parts of the city.

So we remind you of the saying of Mujahid Imam Abu Abdullah Usamah, May Allah protect him, which is that “Victory is not by gaining material control only; victory is remaining steadfast on the basics.”

The brothers were concentrating on protecting some particular points to raise the spirits of the society and to let the ordinary people know that in the corners there are holes and that there are some men still left that remain steadfast. When the brothers saw that the power was not equal and that the traditional ways were not working to our advantage, then we made the decision to change strategies and withdrew to reorganize.

And now we have returned again and guerrilla operations and explosions are the beginning of the new strategy however it is too early to yet gage the effects of the technical withdrawal on the spirits of the people.

And whatever it be then we say to the world altogether just as the righteous Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, said:

We are the ones who have sworn allegiance to Muhammad in Jihad as long as we remain forever…

Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest!

“Honor, power and glory belong to Allah, to his messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not.”

Oh Allah, Revealor of the Book, the One who is quick in judgment and Defeater of the enemies, defeat the crusader Ethiopians, and their brothers among the disbelievers and those who are in their ranks.

Your brothers,
