MOGADISHU (Mareeg)—Somalia’s rebel leader Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys said on Friday plans to unite Hizbul Islam-his group and al Shabaab were going on.
Addressing hundreds of people in Aba Hureyra Mosque in Bakaraha market in Mogadishu after Friday’s prayers Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys said people should be patient the casualties from the fighting and wait what he called “victory over enemies”.
The two Islamist groups al Shabaab and Hizbul Islam have been fighting together against the fragile government led by president Sharif Sheik Ahmed and the African troops known as AMISOM in Mogadishu since Sheik Aweys returned from a two year exile in Eritrea in April 2009.
About 300 civilians have been killed and thousands have been displaced since the allied Islamist rebels-Hizbul Islam and al Shabaab started their major offensive on 7 May 2009.
