Mogadishu — The Al shabaab movement on Monday threatened if Kenyan government
doesn't withdraws its forces from Somalia, they launch attacks against the
neighboring country.
Briefing to the local media in Elash Biyaha neighborhood just outside of
Somalia's capital, Sheikh Ali Mohamoud Rage said that they will attack Kenya
for their provocative move to enter Somalia.
He disclosed the Al shabaab fighters have the ability to decimate Kenyan huge
buildings.
"The Kenyan public must understand that the impetuous decision by their troops
to cross the border into Somalia will not be without severe repercussions. The
bloody battles that will ensue as a result of this incursion will most likely
disrupt the social equilibrium and imperil the lives of hundreds of thousands
of civilians; and with war consequently comes a significant loss of lives,
instability, and destruction to the local economy and a critical lack of
security" the spokesman was quoted as saying.
The Kenyan people has the chance and stop their government from causing their
blood to shed, Rage adds.
He also talked about the latest battles Kenyan forces with Al shabaab fighters
in the village of Qoqani and Afmadow district, spelling out that Kenyan forces
bombarded those areas killing civilians and destroyed their properties.
He denied that Al shabaab abducted aid workers from Kenya.
"The allegations put forward by the Kenyan authorities with regard to the
recent kidnappings are, at best, unfounded and, apart from the mere conjectural
corroborations, not substantiated with any verifiable evidence. They are not in
any way, shape or form attributable to Harakat Al-Shabaab Al Mujahideen"
