MOGADISHU (Mareeg)—Hizbul Islam rebel group led by hardline cleric, Hassan Dahir Aweys, said they have reopened Ema’an port and Isaley airstrip in north Mogadishu on Monday.
Sheik Mohamed Moalim, a secretary information of the group said they reopened the small natural port of Elam’an and Isaley airstrip outside Mogadishu and informed business people to import and export goods in these two places. 
“We call for the businessmen to import their business goods and export in Elma’an port and Isaley airport and we pledge that they will keep the security,” said Sheik Mohamed.
He said “the property of the people is robbed in Mogadishu port and airport” and called for the people to transfer their business operations into these two small places.
The move comes as Al Shabaab drove Hizbul Islam group out of the port town of Kismayo and this shows that Hizbul is trying to get an income from these two places if they convince the business people to use Isaley and Elma’an.
There is no word from the Somali fragile government about the announcement of the Islamist rebel group. The government controls few blocks in the capital.
Sheik Aweys talked reports in Isaley airstrip and accused al Shabaab of being attacking bases of his group in southern Somalia.
He added that he was deeply sorry about the renewed clashes between his party and al Shabaab in Lower Jubba region.
