Share

Senior Al Shabab official Sheikh Ali Mohammed Hussein called Somali women to bring their children in order to fight alongside the fighters of Shabab in the capital, Mogadishu.

“We call all Somali mothers to take part in the holly fighting. You know our enemy only remains small parts of the capital. All mothers must come into the war or bring their children”, said Sheikh Ali Hussein who is also head of Al Shabab led-administration in Banadir region.

He was addressing after Al Shabab organized seminar was concluded in the capital, Mogadishu where hundreds of women participated.

“It is an obligation on you to come and fight alongside us. Also you must bring your sons with their guns”. He added “You know the women of Muslims used to take part in the holly wars between the Mujahidin and the enemy”.

Al-Shabab, the strongest radical Islamist group opposing the Transitional Federal Government in Somalia has already argued young men to come to the frontline and invited foreigners everywhere to act against African Union Mission (Amisom) and Somali government.

The call has come after UN’s special representative for human rights Radhika Coomaraswamy had vusited Mogadishu, where she met the newly sworn prime minister of Somalia, Mr Mohammed Abdullahi.

Somalia is seen as one of Africa’s worst place for recruiting young children where hundreds of children die yearly in the wars.

Fierce clashes between the government fierce aiding Amisom troops and the Islamist rebels still continue in several parts of the war ravaged capital of Somalia, Mogadishu. Nearly 15 more have been killed in the last clashes between the two sides in northern parts of Mogadishu.
