How big of a fighting force is Alshabab really?

Post by SultanOrder »

Every day I read of battles going on in galgaduud, bay iyo bakol, gedo, jubba, banaadir. Every single battle shabab is loosing anywhere from 5-15 guys. This has been going on for months now. Given that the reports are exaggerated to some degree, it shows how strong of a fighting force alshabab really has been. They are fighting in so many fronts, it's hard to believe that former estimates of 3thousand constituted their regular army. It is going to be a few more months before they are destroyed.

They are a lot stronger than even the ICU. What I'm more suprised about is who actually pays these bastards?
