Mogadishu (Qalin) - The Somalia hardliner Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys public confirmed the existance of the internal conflict among his militant group Alshabab, in an interview with a Somali TV Channel. "It is clear that there is an internal conflict in the organization, the Amir, turned into a dictator and wants to rule what he wants, not the Sharia" said Sheikh Aweys.

"The Amir decided to kill anyone who doesn't obey his orders, and his orders doesn't obey the Sharia, so that, it is an acceptable" he added.

The militant commander dismissed the widely reported killing of the American Jihadist Omar Shafiq Hammami aka Abu Mansur Al-Amiri, whose death was reported by Sheikh Fu'ad Mohamed Khalaf aka Shangole two weeks ago.


The early reports of Al Amriki's death claimed that he was killed in a shoot out between two Alshabab groups in Rama Adey village in Bay region, near Dinsor district.

Sheikh Aweys' group in Alshabab, who are relatively moderate than the extreme team led by Ahmed Abdi Godane aka Sheikh Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr, is in slow negotiations with the Somalia government and had several meetings in Doha-Qatar.
