Speaking at a security meeting held in Dusamareb today, Ahlu Sunna’s executive committee chairman Mohamed Yussuf Hefow said the militant group has been neutralized and weakened in all aspects.

Hefow said the militant group has now resorted to forcefully seek supports from local clans in the country by holding series of meetings with clan elders in order to feed them with their wrongful ideology after realizing it was facing an absolute jeopardy in all aspects.

He urged Somalis to exercise patience as the group will soon be cleared out of the country, promising that his group will be pursuing militant fighters in their remaining hideouts.
