Al Shabaab Leader Sends Message to Burundi
Mogadishu — Sheikh Mokhtar Abdurrahman Abu Zubeyr, the leader of Al shabaab movement of son Wednesday sent a message to the people of Burundi and informed to work how Burundian forces withdraw Somalia.
In an audio taped message, Abu Zubeyr said they held captive a number of Burundian soldiers during Mogadishu battles that forced Al shabaab to abandon some of their key military positions.
"This message is to inform the Burundians that their forces in Somalia don't know the facts exist in this country. You know that many forces from the world and from Ethiopia have failed to do any thing in Somalia and dragging of AU soldiers in Mogadishu is a clear sign for their failure" said the leader of Al shabaab.
He reiterated that the Burundian forces, who are part in African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia, will leave Somalia having failed to reach their goals.
