- Lin Rui looked at the Somali officer, "What's your name?"
"My name is Abdi." The Somali officer nodded to Lin Rui and said, "Major of the Somali Security Forces. I have served as a consultant to the US military before, mainly responsible for the issues of the Somali Youth Army."
"Hello Abdi." Lin Rui shook hands with him. "I have long heard that you are going to send an expert on the Somali Youth Army. It should be you."
Abdi is an average-looking man in his thirties. Probably because of his dealings with the US military, his English is quite good.
Hearing Lin Rui say that he was an expert, he immediately shook his head, "I can't be said to be an expert. I'm just trying my best to help you. You don't understand this place."
"You're right, we really don't know much about this place. And I haven't had much dealings with the Somali Youth Army." Lin Rui nodded, "Let's go and talk to the headquarters."
Abdi nodded and followed Lin Rui to the headquarters.
"That's your office, right next to my office. In fact, you are here not just as a consultant, but also as a liaison between us and the Somali National Army." Lin Rui patted Abdi. "Come on, let's go in and talk."
After Abdi entered, he was a little nervous when he wrote. Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder and asked him to relax.
Not long after Lin Rui and others took over the base, there were still people and materials being shipped in from outside, and other people in the headquarters were also very busy.
Actuary Jiang An specially arranged the deployment work to others and personally came to pick up Abdi.
Lin Rui sat at his desk, looked at Abdi and said, "Abu, you don't mind if I call you this, right?"
"Yes, sir." Abdi nodded.
"Okay, Abu. We want to know more about the situation of the Somali Youth Army.
"Don't talk about things that were discussed in intelligence meetings or in written documents. I need to know something more direct, you know what I mean? Lin Rui looked at him and said.
Abdi nodded, "I think I may understand. Some of the information may not be accurate. And the intelligence information will be out of date."
Lin Rui nodded, "Tell me how much you know about this organization?"
"I know enough about them." Abdi replied, "Dukub is one of the founders of the predecessor of the Somali extremist organization Al-Shabaab. It was previously entrenched in East Africa near Somalia and Kenya.
They have continued to carry out terrorist attacks over the years. It has always wanted to overthrow the Somali authorities supported by the African Union and Western countries.
They are different from the small terrorist attacks that have been common in recent years. The Somali Youth Army has a clear superior and a clear target of attack. And it usually has very bad effects.
Their activities have been very rampant in recent times. According to incomplete statistics, in the past three months, the terrorist organization has carried out no less than 9 explosions in Somalia, killing more than 100 people and injuring at least 166 others.
In other words, the Youth Army creates an explosion on average every 10 days or so in Somalia, causing casualties.
¡°And the scope of the explosions they created is not limited to Somalia, its neighboring countries have also suffered greatly. "
"These terrorists are so rampant. Are you just going to let them develop?" Lin Rui frowned.
Abdi was helpless, "That's not the case. In fact, the Somali government forces have carried out at least three military operations in the past three months.
Forty-five Al-Shabaab militants were killed, and a senior member surrendered to government forces in the southern city of Kismayo.
In addition, the U.S. Africa Command launched an air strike on the Somali Youth Army¡¯s stronghold in the Golis Mountains in northern Somalia a few days ago, killing four militants of the organization.
But to be honest, these don¡¯t have much effect. It even makes these crazy terrorists become more violent.
A week ago, the death toll from the terrorist attack reached 26 people and 56 others were injured. The number of casualties caused by the Somali Al-Shabaab army is on the rise. "
"Then how could these terrorists be so unscrupulous?" asked actuary Jiang An.
"They have external support. A large number of terrorists defeated by the Jihadist Alliance have recently joined them. I think many external forces are actively involved in the operation." Abdi whispered.
"External force?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, I have studied them for a long time. Mahmoud, one of the leaders of the Somali Youth Army, has connections with many forces.
Some of these forces are not even in Somalia. But they are aiding Somali youth with economic nuclear weaponsNianjun.
It is said that behind all this, there is a mysterious financial owner who has been funding the terrorist activities of the Somali Youth Army.
But the strange thing is that we have been investigating for a long time and have not found any information about this mysterious financial owner. Some people think this is just nonsense, but I don't think so. ¡± Abdi replied.
"Oh, do these terrorists have a backend?" Lin Rui asked with a frown.
¡°I don¡¯t know, but I have been investigating them before. When the Americans were here, they tried to investigate their financial sources.
I also have a certain understanding of this. Previously, they controlled the entrepot trade at the Port of Kismayo, and the Somali Youth Army made a profit of US$35 million to US$50 million per year.
But later, they retreated farther away. Their income did not decrease, for their men and weapons increased.
? These are all a big expense. There were rumors that they were in cahoots with pirates.
But pirates alone cannot sustain their expenses. The US military conducted an investigation when it was there and found that there were multiple underground fundraising networks distributed in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
??The funds from these fundraising networks are like a trickle, continuously injecting blood to Al-Shabaab in Somalia. It is the funding of these funds that makes them so difficult to deal with. ¡± Abdi explained.
¡°It is a very common phenomenon that terrorist organizations are funded by external donations. Terrorists all over the world do this.
Why do you think there is a mysterious financial backer behind the Somali Youth Army? "Ask the actuary Shogan.
¡°Because Americans have done some investigations before, they believe that these funds are likely to come from the same person. But more information can no longer be found.
Later, the Americans also suspected that their judgment was wrong. They believed that these funds did come from donations from some groups that support terrorist organizations.
¡°But I have always had doubts because I have been following the Somali Youth Army for a long time. I found that when they encounter financial difficulties, they always receive assistance at the right time.
These timings were so well mastered, as if they were deliberately arranged. When they have no money, they will receive financial support, and when they lack weapons, they will receive arms support.
It¡¯s like there is a pair of invisible hands controlling everything. Abdi shook his head.
