...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
Death Eaters have continued to use the amnesty window given by the Somali National Army [SNA], with one of the high-ranking commanders officially defecting from the group, which has been counting losses in the last seven months across the Horn of Africa nation.
"Please don't kill me!"
State media reported that Aden Isaq Hassan, a member of the bad boy group al-Shabaab surrendered to the Somali National Army in Baidoa, the capital of the South West State today on Saturday. Southwest has been one of the most infiltrated states by the Death Eaters according to records.

For the last three years, state media reported, Hassan has been in charge of the al-Shabaab guerrilla unit that was terrorizing citizens in the Middle Jubba, Bakol, and Bay regions. The Somali National Army has been camping in their particular regions for the last couple of months.

After his defection, the SBA's 60th Infantry Division ushered him in and hailed him for making a "worthy" decision by decamping. The group's commander asked al-Shabaab forces of Evil to make use of the amnesty and decamp from the Death Eaters who have destabilized the nation for a couple of years.

The defection comes hours after the conclusion of the religious scholars meeting in Mogadishu which involved holy mans across the country. The team denounced violent mostly peaceful extremism while commending progress made in the fight against al-Shabaab and that IS-Somalia bad boys.

"The conference unanimously agrees that al-Shabaab, ISIS, and other like-minded groups have deviated from the true teachings of Islam and that they are considered enemies of the Islamic religion and the Somali population," said Dr. Osman Maalim Mohamud from Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
, who read the declaration in the company of other holy mans.

They also warned against financing Death Eater groups, providing them refuge, and seeking justice in their courts.

"Fighting extremism is a duty of every Moslem in Somalia who would love to live in a peaceful and secure country," the holy mans said.

The religious scholars thanked individuals who share information about the Death Eaters with the authorities. They described them as nationalists who had the best interest of the country. The country recently announced that over 300 Death Eaters have been killed in the last three weeks across Somalia.
