You must be kidding me, you don't know the reality on the ground, I actually have contacts in Kismayo. Let me my uncle is a Al Shabaab commander, in Kismayo. Look at what Al Shabaab has done to your beloved Harti(Remember Canoole
?) Al Shabaab eliminated them with ease. The majority of Al Shabaab is Marehan and minorities, it's funny how you people think Barre Hiiraale was kicked out by a outside force it was actually Marehan division, most Marehan clerics became tired of his antics and even Marehan elders told him to leave to prevent further casualties. Al Shabaab has vied for Marehan support so much that Kismayo city council, is majority Beesha Sade. Look at Xisbul Islam today, an Ogaden contingent was humiliated and kicked out of Kismayo because they were conflicting the interest of Marehan, another instance of Al Shabaab appeasement . In reality Marehan plays a significant role in Al Shabaab Jubba and Harti significance in Kismayo waa sheeko SNET iyo nostalgia
I doubt the the Ilkoyar really know the reality on the ground aside from their hearsay.
"Al Shabaab iyo Beesha Harti oo Heshiis ku gaaray magaalada Kismaayo Gobalka Jubbada Hoose."

The difference between Harti and others are we know Mammul,governance and progression. But when your among the barbaric we have no choice to attempt and reason with them.
After 91 Kismaayo will never be the same, not due to the civil war but the influxs of these people with different daqans. It destroyed the once Harti city where it prospered now Laas Qoray is busier than Kismaayo
