Iraqi envoy suggests strategies to defeat Shabaab
2017-07-25
[SHABELLENEWS] Iraqi envoy to Kenya Dr Zaid Noori has advised regional countries to keep sharing intelligence and logistical support in order to defeat Al shabaab.

Dr Noori, whose country has wedged a perennial war against terrorist groups, argued that Kenya and its allies can learn from Iraq’s way of fighting terrorists, as the country battles al-Shabaab
... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...
"A lasting solution would come from all countries eliminating terrorist cells and the predisposing conditions such as poverty and unemployment in their territories," he told the Sunday Nation.

"We want an international collation to block gunnies from obtaining money, arms and ammunition by closing their funding resources."

Kenya is currently battling al-Shabaab hard boyz hiding in Boni Forest, Lamu County, from where they have launched a series of deadly attacks.

And while the attacks here appeared to be in guerrilla format, the envoy argued several factors often contribute to the rise in terror attacks.

Speaking on their experience and lessons in combating terrorism, the diplomat says the anti-terror can very well be the "third world war".

In Iraq, just like in Kenya, the insurgence being carried out by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group has largely been fuelled by what he called a "false religious ideology".

He said that security authorities should focus on sensitising members of the public against bogus religious beliefs being propagated by terrorists.

"We are telling them (the public) that this is not religion and that there is no such thing as a killer in paradise. Islam has been there for thousands of years, but Isis came only four, or five years ago," he said.

#3  I don't think the iraqis are up to giving advice on defeating anyone yet.

#2  Islam? 1400 years, tops. And there has been something like ISIS much of that time.

Apparently the envoy forgot about the Gates of Vienna, Moorish Spain, the Barbary Coast, the Moro Insurrection, the rise of the Iranian Theocracy...
