You have mercenary foreign contractors in Somalia. Just like in El Salvador, Lebanon, and Iraq, many massacres will be committed against the defenseless Somali population, and the so-called Godane crew will always take credit. The whole game is to destroy any kind of an independent Somali group that is pursuing Islamic agenda and wants to remain independent. Whenever you see the Al-Qaeda group introduced and their names repeated, expect massacres.
This boogeyman named Al-Qaeda is nothing but a front group to derail Muslim movements and cause sectarian hatred within those Muslim societies that it is operating. Look no further, Al-Qaeda works for those whom it claims that it is against.
