Old video, but watch it because it gives you a crystal clear view of current politics in Somalia and the future of the nation.
You have this current wave + new/next generation + overseas Somalis ... equals Al-Shabaab's backbone.
For a long time I thought it would take a simple clan militia or warlord alliance to beat Al-Shabaab, and in battle Al-Shabaab might lose like any other group but in the bigger war they will take all and honestly I have to say they have zero competition. These guys are the new heroes of the nation and as much as I or anyone else might oppose them for any reason, factually they are here to stay, period.
BTW, a lot of us have other agendas, but for some reason, the Muslim world views Somalia as a bastion of Islamic political resurgence
