Al-Shabaab describes Turkey as neo-colonialist
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Sheikh Abdulkadir Mumin, a senior officer in Al-Shabaab,
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
 the radical Islamist group opposing the Transitional Federal Government in Somalia has criticised the role of Turkey in Somalia.

The holy man made the hostile remarks on Saturday via the movement's broadcasting system, al-Andalus. Sheikh Mumin stated that the humanitarian foods and medicines brought to Somalia by Turkish agencies are expired. He added that the Turkish intention was to 'poison' the people in this country.

"They (the Turkish organizations) brought expired foods and medicines," said Sheikh Mumin.

"We warn the people from taking the stuffs."

The sheikh added that Turkey was engaged in a 'campaign to assist Somalis' just as a mission to advance its interests.

"Its assistance is phony and driven by neocolonial intentions," remarked Sheikh Mumin.
Probably. And perhaps the Brave Lions of Islam would allow their captive audience a little outside care and feeding were the donors Arab -- they clearly won't from anyone else.
Turkey is one of the first countries that responded to the plea to help the needy people in Somalia that were affected by the worst drought in 60 years.

The country delivered the largest humanitarian goods in terms of foods, medicines, sheltering materials.
