I have never been a security analyst, expert, or anything close to it. I don't know jack about latest security hardware or technologies, or subscribe to its magazines or read about it online but even I know simple actions can degrade the terrorists threat level by 90%. The nacalads (shabaab), an international criminal outfit, carry out the same hallmark attacks day after day, and amazingly succeed every time. How do they do this:

1. Park a car filled with explosives at their target-hotel, school, mosque, etc
2. a second car not far from the first target
3. Appoint an attack person to go inside to kill and chase people out
4. As people run out both cars are detonated causing heavy causalities to people and buildings

how can this be reduced

A. License every single focking car-title, registration. Any car used by the criminals is solely blamed on the owner, they are as guilty as the dead (bakhti), arrested and killed

B. Have checkpoints that do not allow cars from other regions in the city without stringent conditions

c. Closely monitor people from other regions who recently moved to the city whether for education or other opportunities

D. National IDs should be implemented immediately. What is the purpose of the general sweep or police operations if they cannot electronically verify someone's identity. Its practically useless what do they do ask someone's qabiil when they stop them lol

E. Ban cars in Public areas, government buildings, hotels, and other vital institutions

F. Force the UN's hand by sending back all baboons to their huts in sub-Saharan African. Its shame that the UN is focking up the country as much as the mindless Somalis. Why are they paying Amisom $1000 and Somalis $100 when they are the first people to crime scenes, fight shabaabs, and are the first to confront and die in line of duty. What is Amisom doing in Somalia now-they are not liberating any regions, they have not trained the Somali army, they are not protecting institutions in Xamar clearly. Paradoxically these guys party so hard in Xamar, their own base was briefly captured by Shabaab lol

SIMPLE STEPS, BIG DIFFERENCE

I agree

I would also add:

G. Implement harsh penalties towards anyone cooperating with these terrorists, or anyone participating in these attacks. Make justice swift, public, and extremely harsh. Make a statement saying that anyone who aids these terrorists by even giving them one shilling, will be guilty of treason and be executed immediately. Interrogate, interrogate, interrogate. Anyone related to an Al-Shabaab member should also be closely monitored, and should be obligated to provide the Government with information about his possible whereabouts, his appearance, and all of his details.

But I guess common sense is in short supply in Somalia...

A- That can easily be defeated. They would steel the cars on the streets and cooly do their dirty bombings with the stolen cars. The Somalis government doesn't have the resources to search stolen cars and even do a complete registration.

B. In a small city like Barawe or Blacad, it's possible but do you know how inconvenient is for motorists to go through those check ups? Not only will it slow the traffic follow, it will also create public backlash .

C.These guys do their work on nights. The police go to their homes on nights and the other ones sleep at their bases. Nobody watches nobody at nights.

E. Most of the institutes and government building got big gates outside of the entrance so it's hard to bomb then. Also big hotels like Al-jazeera and city plaza have got gates outside, but then again Alshabab are very smart and will always get loopholes

Will never happen.

Clan members don't get searched at checkpoints. In Villa Somalia, if you are from the same clan as the guards, they let you in without searching. That is how the Villa Somalia attack occured. Al Shabbab used qabiil to do their attack. If you are known, you are given free access to the President and the PM.

Just like how Al Shabbab used that lady today

The Sayyid's curse still remains, and cursed qabiilists still run amok in Somalia.

The fact that average non media Somalinetters in here in Mogadishu know the inside scoop of anything that occurs and that "Abdi Abdi is not going to be the next minister and he was clearly visibly upset and currently this moment is waiting outside the Presidents office" and other stories proves how pathetic security is

Abdigaal,
I never thought I would agree with you but it is true that security guards don't/won't or couldn't do their job properly.
Last year I was flying out of the airport, they didn't search me thoroughly.

The problem is bigger than these points mentioned.
The main problem is the people in Somalia only has 2 parties to choose from
1. Al-Shabaab
2. TFG

Federal government

No cars should be allowed at big hotels

The most important is NOT employing anyone without the permission of the interior security

Mixed staff and body guardy for every hotel, example that lady would have been known better her past if the hotel had local members

Accomodating govts agents in the hotels

Officials must stay away from the public roads

Take an example of the hotel SYL, one side of the road was closed, so, the driver when he was parallel to the hotel, in a high speed, he turned into the hotels gate.

they need to stop employing on qabiil grounds but get a well known people who can be trusted

The only thing reasonably workable solution you listed is to: ban cars from areas where large crowd of people congregrate and fuq sake invest in bomb sniffing dogs, metal detectors, and most importantly introduce bonus payments on top of salaries for security personnel so that they can take their job seriously.

^^All that need to go to the airports too as the ants are coming from everywhere

How about properly trainings the police on how to conduct search of vehicles and paying them decently , educating the masses of importance of peace so that they can be the eyes and ears.
