Bossaso, Puntland (HOL) - The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIL) began recruiting fighters in Puntland according to parent, family members and other relatives who live in Bossasso. The parents and relatives interviewed by HOL said that their children were forcibly taken by ISIS recruiters operating in the region.

Around 40 children mostly under the age of 18 went missing since Friday and a group of smugglers have been reportedly registering new fighters who will fight along ISIL jihadists in Syria and Iraq.

In an interview with HOL Hodan Farah Osman, 37, said that her young son was abducted by anonymous people working for ISIL on early Sunday morning while on his way to College.
“We have informed Puntland authorities and my son Jibriil Hamud was 18 and he was studying at PIDAM College. In fact they brain washed him I think,“ a distraught Hodan Faarah Osman said over a telephone interview.

Accounts from local residents in Sanaag region suggest that a boat carrying around 40 snatched children approached at Dur-duri shore near Laasqoray port on Friday, making this the first of its kind in northern Somalia.

“My son contacted me through phone and said we are out of option, we are asking Puntland president to address this and return our children to us,” she said. "At least four phone calls to security minister Abdi Hersi Qarjab went unanswered." she added

For the past four years Somalia’s Al-Qaeda linked group of Al-shabab who are based in Gal-gala rigid hills have been waging guerrilla style attacks against the state forces of Puntland. This abduction of Somali young people to fight in the trouble spots of the Middle East for ISIL is a concern that all parents shared and would like immediate action to tackle.

sad

It is false news. Somalis write any thing. Do these people think ISIS need Somali fighters? I think someone who has vendetta against PL wrote that.

Just look at their source. They are only quoting one mother who is missing her son. The kids referenced in that piece have been reported to have left through tahriib. This story also came the same time that the fake news of contraband money was reported. Both of them turned out to be hoax.

We don't know if it is true or false

The mother was contacted and her son has gone through Libya and end up in Europe.

It is true and several other cases are now being investigated. ISIS is heavily recruiting the youth of Puntland for khilafa.

Puntland is unfortunately a hotbed for terrorists

"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride" is an English proverb which means you can't just wish something that does not exist. One can't just accuse terrorism in PL without facts. There are no facts that ISIL recruits from PL. In fact, the article at HOL was refuted and busted by the same mother who was quoted there.

How much did Puntland sell your Dhulo cousins to ISIL for? $2.99 a 10-pack?

Quit the desperation and cantarabaqash and deal with the facts. Just wishing there are ISIL in PL does not make it so. The ones who recruit for ISIL are your defunct entity and it is well-known that it is the headquarters of Al-Qaeda in East Africa. Again, If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Fyi, DHulooz PLers are at home in PL
