Somali Army Chief Vows to Rout Out Remanants of Al Shabab

Mogadishu — Somali army chief, General Abdulkadir Shiek Ali dini, has told that Somali forces are ready to fight with any elements who pose threat to the security of the nation.

Speaking to journalists at a cermony where more than a hundred soldiers have concluded training in the capital, the general said that the army would attack and liberate areas still controlled by Al shabab and he stated that the army stands for the defence of the Somali people and the national flag.

Al shabab calls the Somali national flag a mere cloth and un Islamic and that angers most of the Somali people who vehemently believe in the light blue and star flag as one the greatest national symbols.
