Speaking on Pro-Al Shabaab radio station, the group’s representative in Banadir region Sheikh Ali Mohamud Hussein said that they would fight those who work at UN and Turkish agencies offices in Mogadishu. “We warn the residents of Mogadishu against working for international agencies, whether they are UN or Turkish agencies,” noted Hussein, adding that Al Shabaab will firmly deal with anybody who breaches the order. Al Shabaab representative in Banadir region declared that Al Shabaab militants are ready to launch more attacks on US military advisers, their Somali friends and African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) peacekeepers. “USA was the last enemy that dispatched advisers to Somalia, we will fight against those who have been hired,” he said.
