Somalia: Alshabaab Suspend UN Mine Action

Mogadishu, 17 December 2009 (Somalilandpress) – Somalia’s Islamists, Alshabaab issued an statement to suspend the UN Mine Action program in Somalia. The statement which was signed by the organization’s Office for Supervising the Affairs of Foreign Agencies accused the program of carrying out actions to mobilize the people against Alshabab.

The statement said they have taken this decision after a comprehensive study into the actions and motives behind the organization.

Here is Al-Shabaab’s statement:

It is a clear fact that Mine Action pays the salaries of the TFG police forces. In addition to that, they have been attempting to disrupt the peace and justice by bribing various community elders and inciting them to rebel against the Islamic Administration. Furthermore, they have been surveying and signposting some of the most vital and sensitive areas under the control of the Mujahideen.

Finally, the articulate investigation uncovered the fact that Mine Action was secretly hosting and undertaking the work of organizations that have previously been prohibited by the Office for Supervising the Affairs of Foreign Agencies such as UNDP.

By the will of Allah, the Office for Supervising the Affairs of Foreign Agencies will continue to regulate and monitor the foreign agencies inside Somalia and protect the Muslims from any plots that may be against their religion industries, safety, and health.

Allah is our Protector and Provider.

the infidels should leave the Islamic state of Somalia to fend on its own. they do not need them. besides they are enemies of Islam in the cloth of humanitarian assistance we know about them in afghanistan, Iraq and now somalia. May Allah make the mujahideen successful and raise for us a khalifa in our time.

The sure infidels are the so called Al-shabaab. These guys have nothing to do with Islam. They are instead a bunch of ruthless blood-thirsty merchants who believe nothing is outrageous as long as their bank accounts keep swelling.

One day, at least some of them, will pay heavy price for the crimes they continue committing against defenceless Somalis. Moreover, God will of coursepunish them accordingly. They are cruel godless criminals who need to be brought to justice and that may very well happen in the near future.

I agree, Adam. These are a low life criminals, lawless, Godless, and without conscience and desensitized of the basic human sympathy or feelings within every normal human-being. They don't care about the innocent people that they are hurting. And sooner of later, they will pay for thier crimes.
