“While we-together with our partners- militarily take out and dismantle all terrorists hideouts, we are also engaging our religious leaders, elders, the youth, women and civil society groups to turn the tide against the twisted ideology of hate and religious intolerance. The silver lining is, young men and women are NOT joining Alshabab out of a desirable appeal. That ideology is no longer popular; Alshabab and Alqaeda DO NOT have a ready stream of new and volunteer recruits in Somalia. NOT ANYMORE.”

“It is also important to note that some within their ranks- mostly the young men and womenhave headed our amnesty offer, denounced violence and peacefully surrendered.”
