In an interview with Sunatimes, Somali Federal government’s head of rehabilitation centre for defectors Sheikh Mohamed Farah Ali Al-Azhari has urged young men fighting alongside Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab to come and take advantage of the government’s offer of forgiving defected members from the outlawed group.
Al-Azhari stated that about 1,600 young men who previously defected from Al-Shabaab are now in various rehabilitations centers in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, enjoying a better life and a lot of opportunity.
Somali Federal government’s proposal for the youth fighting alongside Al-Shabaab militant comes at a time when the dispute between the top leadership of the rebel group begins to emerge.
Two co-founders of al-Qaeda-linked group reportedly killed by their own members, while a third commander captured in central Somalia.
