#3 They'd loose control of the 'masses' because the average Somali would realize how ineffective and unconcerned the Al-Shabab folks really are about the 'common man's dilemma'.

It's the same reason many Soviet, African and Latin American dictators refuse outside help in a time of national disaster.
