Somalia: Military court releases Moroccans sentenced to death for joining ISIS
|
[Garowe] The military court in Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
has released six foreign individuals linked to the Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
faction in Somalia, which was founded in late 2015 by a Somali-British ex-Al-Shabaab
... the personification of Somali state failure...

According to authorities in Puntland, the men, who come from foreign countries, have been training fighters around the Golis mountains, and have often staged attacks around Bosaso, the commercial capital of the state.
General Abdifatah Haji Adan, the chairman of the military court, said the Æthiopian and Moroccan nationals surrendered to Puntland after escaping from the ISIS group. The IS-Somalia is affiliated with ISIS bully boys, who have roots in the Middle East.
The court released the six men to the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, which was directed to repatriate them to their countries of origin. In addition, the court also released six children who had also been recruited to the ISIS branch in Somalia.
Two months ago, the military court in Puntland sentenced to death six Moroccans believed to be imported muscle for the Islamic State Death Eater group in Somalia. The group rivals al-Shabaab and both target innocent civilians and security teams in their cowardly attacks.
After thorough scrutiny, the six were identified as Mohammed Hassan, Ahmed Najwi, Khalid Latha, Mohammed Binu Mohammed Ahmed, Ridwan Abdulkadir Osmany, and Ahmed Hussein Ibrahim. They were accused of being members of the IS-Somalia terrorist group.
Interestingly, the military court did not reveal whether the released Moroccans are among those sentenced last month. The IS-Somalia has a huge presence around the Golis mountains and the Bari region, where they have repeatedly fought with al-Shabaab holy warriors as they wrestle for dominance.
