ALLAHU AKBAR, al shabaab wal shayatiin are in the minority. They must be destroyed once and for all if they refuse to submit.

Still no statement from al-Shabaab, unless their pre-election statement IS their post-election statement...

They did give an statement which is they wont recognize sh.sharif,and will continue the jihad against foreign & government troops.

Al-Shabaab will lose dignity if they refuse to cooperate with Sheikh Sharif.

They are not a single org anyway but a coalition of poorly armed militias who hve only grown strong because of the somali people.

If they continue like this then they would defiantly lose the support of the people and be viewed as warlords themselves.

Warlords who only weaken somalia by futile division and warlords who work for ethiopia.

If they truly feared Allah then they would be supporting Sheikh Sharif other wise walahi we would kill those bastard moryaans dressed in religious garments who know or understand nothing abt Islam.

Our people who were displaced by the HIV ethiopians still sleep outside the capital city without warm meals, their is nothing to fight abt, somalia needs to regain her ostion in the world and i only fear that these Al-Shabaab fools can spoil that for us and in turn help ethiopia keep somalia divided and weak.

ALSHABAB are the only people with sense in this somali matter . untill they join sharif in his flipflopping manner, i see them as the only guys that stand true to their words and deeds of course
