Africa Center<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlShabaab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlShabaab</span></a>'s influence runs deep—even in territory it doesn't control. It has built a sophisticated criminal enterprise, compromising multiple levels of governance and coercing businesses and communities into compliance.</p><p>So military efforts alone are not enough. Counterinsurgencies require accountable governance, financial sector development, better criminal investigatory work, improved law enforcement, and a culture of service delivery.</p><p><a href="https://africacenter.org/spotlight/reclaiming-al-shabaabs-revenue/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">africacenter.org/spotlight/rec</span><span class="invisible">laiming-al-shabaabs-revenue/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Africa</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Somalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Somalia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CVE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CVE</span></a></p>
Africa Center<p>Al Shabaab maintains roughly 5,000 to 10,000 well-armed fighters as well as a network of operatives, paid for by the estimated $100 million it generates annually, mostly through mafia-style extortion. (By comparison, the Somali government's annuel revenue is roughly $250 million.) </p><p>Dismantling al Shabaab’s revenue generating infrastructure, therefore, is vital to undermining the capacity of the militant group. </p><p><a href="https://africacenter.org/spotlight/reclaiming-al-shabaabs-revenue/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">africacenter.org/spotlight/rec</span><span class="invisible">laiming-al-shabaabs-revenue/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Africa</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CVE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CVE</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Somalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Somalia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alshabaab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alshabaab</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/violentextremism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>violentextremism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mafia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mafia</span></a></p>
The Conversation Africa<p>For at least 14 years now, the militant group Al-Shabaab has terrorised the southern region of Somalia. Its ambition is to impose a tyrannical dictatorship over the entire country through fear and brutality. </p><p>To achieve its aims, it has sought to oust the Somali government and its foreign military allies.</p><p><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/AlShabaab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlShabaab</span></a><br><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Terrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Terrorism</span></a><br><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Somalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Somalia</span></a></p><p><a href="https://theconversation.com/al-shabaab-is-just-a-symptom-of-somalias-tragedy-the-causes-are-still-in-place-197554" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/al-shabaab</span><span class="invisible">-is-just-a-symptom-of-somalias-tragedy-the-causes-are-still-in-place-197554</span></a></p>
