Al-Shabaab starts issuing orders, grants itself new name
2009-05-28
* Wimmenfolk not to sit next to menfolk on public transport in Kismayo

* Media is hereby ordered to use the new name "Harakat Mujahiddin Al Shabaab" - "If you are afraid of the infidels leave as alone and do not mention our name," Sheik Ali Dhere threatened. He vowed new attacks against the African Union troops in Somalia and called for them to pull out from Mogadishu immediately or face further face to face and suicide attacks. He also called for the Somali president Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed to repent and surrender to "the Mujahiddin" referring to Harakat al Shabaab.

It is not known why Al-Shabaab has come up with the new orders and what forced them to threaten to the journalists.
