Mujahideen of Al-Shabaab take control of 90% of Mogadishu

Ansar Forum reported that the Mujahideen of Al-Shabaab have increased the number of checkpoints in Mogadishu and expanded their zone of control over the capital of Somalia.

Sheikh Abu Rahman, governor of Banaadir region, told the Islamic media outlets in Mogadishu about the situation developing in the province.

He said that the Mujahideen forces control most of Somalia's capital and that they have inflicted the African aggressors and the puppet troops heavy blows.

The governor of Islamic province of Banaadir said that the Mujahideen are planning to destroy the formations of African invaders, who yet remain in Mogadishu and terrorize peaceful Muslims.

"Mujahideen control and administrate 90 percent, and Insha'Allah the remaining (territory) will be completed (conquered)", said the governor of Banaadir.

Al-Shabaab officials also spoke about the ongoing project to reform the roads in Mogadishu, saying that the project is realized successfully.

Meanwhile, the puppet transitional government of Somalia has announcedthat it temporarily forbids h "politically motivated meetings" in the capital Mogadishu, fearing that Mujahideen may carry out martyrdom operations during their gatherings.

Sources say that at the moment Mujahideen control about 50% of the entire country (the map can be viewed at the following link - the Mujahideen-controlled territory are dark-brown).

In this regard, we would like to recall that last year the Mujahideen Al-Shabaab and the Hizb-Al-Islam joined their ranks in the struggle against invaders and minions, claiming that they have a common goal - the establishment of Islamic rule in Somalia.

After the liberation of Somalia, Al-Shabaab is planning to assist the Mujahideen in neighboring Yemen, which is located in close proximity to Somalia - they are only separated by the Gulf of Aden (see the map at thislink).
