What is the 411 on Dam Jadiid?

[Niya]

Is there any written analysis about them? Who are the Dam Jadiids loyalists in the parliment? Are they represented across clan lines? What is their history? Can't help but think they are some kind of despotic cult. Stealth in nature!

[AbdiWahab252]

They are a Qatari funded clique of New Islamists. They are trying to bring a new blood into the Islamist circle by learning the lessons of the Ikhwan. They have operated under the radar for years until the opportunity to field a candidate occurred. Thanks to an infusion of $20 million dollars they were able to propel an unknown into Villa Somalia. These are a crafty bunch of perverted Islamists: Secularist leaning for the Gaalo audience yet hardcore Islamist for the Dhegacas.

Do we know who their unofficial leader is?

[original dervish]

Probably an intelligence chief in Dhohar.....with five double chins and a bottle of scotch in his desk drawer.
