New statement from the Muslim Youth Center: “Swift and Appropriate Action Demanded to Deal with Abū Manṣūr al-Amrīkī”
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Mombasa (29/03/2013) – MYC in Kenya, Tanzania and Somalia together with the majority of Mujahideen in Kenya have taken the prudent step to offer counsel to our committed and sincere Muhaajireen brothers to request from our beloved Amir Sheikh Abu Zubeyr that Al-Shabaab immediately considers swift and appropriate action against Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki for his persistence in fomenting dissent both within the ranks of Mujahideen in Somalia and with Al-Shabaab followers outside Somalia.
For over a year, Abu Mansoor has continued to use his self-propelled “popularity” to engineer confusion and attempt to discredit senior Al-Shabaab leaders. More recently and sinister, Abu Mansoor has being trying without success to sow discord among our brothers in Al-Qaeda. It is now time that Abu Mansoor’s megalomania is dealt with swiftly and appropriately. His public display of petulance and obvious disregard for the global vision of Jihad must be addressed decisively.
Like any Mujahideen, Abu Mansoor is entitled to raise legitimate concerns as a Muhaajireen within Al-Shabaab or with like-minded Mujahideen organizations like Al Qaeda. His communication to our beloved Amir Sheikh Abu Baseer in AQAP was initially seen as a dignified and honest way to seek redress to his “greviances”. But in true Abu Mansoor fashion he refused to accept the wise counsel of the Amir in AQAP. Irritated and unable to accept the truth from Yemen, Abu Mansoor has endlessly resorted to both private and public criticism of our brothers in AQAP.
Recently, in Kenya, Abu Mansoor has been using social media to spread false reports about the situation of the Mujahideen from Kenya in Somalia. He erroneously claims East Africans are living in fear under Al-Shabaab and many senior Kenyan Mujahideen have fled Somalia to unilaterally start Jihad in East Africa. Nothing can be further from the truth: MYC and many other East Africans remain committed to Jihad, inside Somalia and beyond with the support and guidance of Al-Shabaab and AQEA. Attempts by Abu Mansoor to poison the minds of our cubs and lions will not be tolerated by MYC and should not be allowed by our brothers in Al-Shabaab and Al Qaeda.
With the grace of Allah, the Mujahideen are moving forward with their objective and vision of liberating Somalia from under the occupation of the Kuffar. Only recent did the brave Mujahideen of Al-Shabaab militarily dislodge Ethiopian troops from Hudur. It was of great surprise and regrettable to read on Twitter that Abu Mansoor was seeking to claim credit for this great victory claiming to have sent our beloved Sheikh Robow. Surely, such a misrepresentation by Abu Mansoor warrants decisive action.
While sad and unfortunate, the era of Abu Mansoor as an inspirer and inciter for those seeking to embrace Jihad is over, and Al-Shabaab must now put an end to Abu Mansoor’s public stunts.
We ask that Allah continue to give Amir Abu Zubeyr and our beloved Mujahideen in AQAP wisdom and patience.

New release “Biography of the Martyred Figures in East Africa #3: Shaykh ‘Abūud Rūghū”
UPDATE 4/3/13 1:44 PM: Here is an English translation of the below Arabic biography:
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful
ﺍﻟﺤﻤﺪ ﻟﻠﻪ ﻭ ﺍﻟﺼﻼﺓ ﻭ ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ
All praise is due to Allaah and may the peace and prayers be upon the Messenger of Allaah
أﻣﺎ ﺑﻌﺪ: ﻗﺎﻝ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ:”
as to what follows, Allaah says:
“ﻭ ﻻ ﺗﺤﺴﺒﻦ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻗﺘﻠﻮﺍ ﻓﻲ ﺳﺒﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺃﻣﻮﺍﺗﺎ ﺑﻞ ﺃﺣﻴﺎﺀ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺭﺑﻬﻢ ﻳﺮﺯﻗﻮﻥ ﻓﺮﺣﻴﻦ ﺑﻤﺎ ﺁﺗﺎﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻣﻦ ﻓﻀﻠﻪ ﻭ ﻳﺴﺘﺒﺸﺮﻭﻥ ﺑﺎﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﻟﻢ ﻳﻠﺤﻘﻮﺍ ﺑﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺧﻠﻔﻬﻢ ﺃﻻ ﺧﻮﻑ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭ ﻻ ﻫﻢ ﻳﺤﺰﻧﻮﻥ”
As you know he is from the most famous callers to Islam in East Africa in general and in Kenya more specifically.
Rogo was accused of the destruction of the Intelligence Services in Nairobi Dar es Salaam 1998,
In 2002 he was arrested with the alleged charge of being involved in the Kikambala hotel bombing, in the Ugandan capital of Kampala, he was released in year 2005.
In 2010 Rogo left for Hijra to Somalia for preparation and Jihaad, he joined the military camp after passing his beginning stage, then he completed the remaining courses, and he was -Raheemahullah- hardworking, patient, and always advising his Brothers, always encouraging them
He was excellent in obedience and listening, and respecting his brothers as they would seek his counseling with the problems in the military camp and its issues. Despite his old age he would participate with his Brothers in all activities like cooking and his cooking was very delicious, (even all the Brothers always used to ask him to cook) bringing water, digging trenches and other arduous activities, he was a humble man with a forgiving character to everyone, and if they were in action he wouldn’t begin unless he consults his brothers out of his love and respect for them.
He was studying the book “Mashaar’i al-Ashwaaq ila Masaar’i al-’Ashaaq
And that day just after finishing from the Camp with his Brothers, he participated in a training ambush with live bullets, and they had to retreat after the ambush quickly to a meeting place, and it had been like that until he was strained -Raheemahullaah- but he was very pleased with this work.
After the leaving the training camp, the Brothers has to walk a long distance till they reached the place of the car, so they walked for a complete night and he was so patient may Allah have mercy upon him. After arriving at Mogodisho, some Brothers came to him to take him to the front-lines to inspire the Brothers, as he was known especially to the Kenyan brothers, whenever they would leave he would take permission.
After the strategic period ended he faced one of the fronts close to Mogodisho with his Brothers and there was a link to take advantage of their time in the Front
He had a share in delivering
The Lessons
And after a period the Brothers left the Front heading towards Mogodisho, and from there he traveled -Raheemahullaah- to the City of Kismayo from there returning back to Kenya, and the Kenyan Intelligence Services did not leave him in his position, they had harrased in all the time as he was put imprisoned a number of times then released.
In year 2012 America imposed restrictions on him with a travel ban, as well as freeze funds, and all of that was with a charge of what is called supporting “Terrorism”
In the last lecture he gave in May 2012, Rogo said that he is ready for the Shahadah and he hopes to become a Saheed for the sake of his religion, and on the 27th of August the same year he opened the “Unidentified Gunmen” n the car as he was with his Wife taking her to the hospital, so he was killed Shaheed -may Allah have mercy upon him-

كما أنه من أشهر الدعاة في شرق أفريقيا عامة و كينيا خاصة، و قد إنتشرت خطبه المسجلة والمرئية بين المسلمين في شرق إفريقيا.
أدين روغو بتورطه في أحداث تدمير وكر المخابرات في نيروبي ودار السلام سنة 1998،
وفي سنة 2002 إعتقل بتهمة المشاركة في تفجير الفندق في العاصمة الأوغندية كامبالا،وتم الإفراج عنه سنة 2005.
في سنة 2010 خرج روغو مهاجرا إلى الصومال للإعداد والجهاد،إلتحق بالمعسكر بعد أن مرّ على بدايته فتره،ثمّ أكمل ما بقي من الدورات،وكان رحمه الله مجتهدا صبورا ناصحا لإخوانه دائم التحريض لهم.
وكان يمتاز بالسمع والطاعة وإحترم إخوانه،كما كانوا يستشيرونه في مشاكل المعسكر وأموره، ورغم كبر سنه فقد كان يشارك إخوانه جميع الأعمال كالطبخ(و قد كان طبخه لذيذا، حتى أن الإخوة كانوا يطلبون منه الطبخ دائما) والإتيان بالماء و حفر الخنادق إلى غيرها من الأعمال الشّاقة،وكان رحمه الله متواضعا سمحا خلوقا مع الجميع،و إذا هم بفعل لا يبدءه حتى يشاور إخوانه من حبه وإحترامه لهم .
كما وكان يُدرِّس إخوانه كتاب “مشارع الأشواق إلى مصارع العشاق” .
و ذات يوم وقبل الخروج من المعسكر شارك مع إخوانه في التدريب على كمين بالرصاص الحيّ،وكان عليهم الإنسحاب بعد الكمين بسرعة إلى مكان الإلتقاء، و قد جرى حتى أجهد رحمه الله، لكنه كان مسرورا بهذا العمل جدا.
وبعد الإنتهاء من المعكسر، كان على الإخوة مشي مسافة طويلة حتى يصلوا إلى مكان السيارة،فمشوا ليلة كاملة وكان صابرا رحمة الله عليه،وبعد الوصول إلى مقديشو، جاءه بعض الإخوة ليأخذوه إلى الخطوط الأمامية لتحريض الإخوة، لأنه كان معروفا وخصوصا عند الإخوة الكينيين،و كل ما هم بالخروج أخذ الإذن رحمه الله.
وبعد إنتهاء فترة الإستراحة، توجه لإحدى الجبهات قرب مقديشو مع إخوانه، وهناك رابط مع الإخوة مستغلين وقتهم في الجبهة،
وكان له نصيب في إلقاء
الدروس
و بعد فترة غادر الإخوة الجبهة متجهين صوب مقديشو، و من هناك سافر رحمه الله إلى مدينة كسيمايوا ومنها عاد إلى كينيا، ولم يتركه عناصر مخابرات كينيا بحاله، فقد كانوا يضايقونه كل الوقت، كما أنه سجن عدة مرات وأفرج عنه.
وفي سنة2012 فرضت أمريكا عقوبات عليه بمنع السفر و تجميد الأموال، و كل ذلك بتهمة ما يسمونه دعم “الإرهاب”.
وفي آخر محاضرة له في مايو 2012 قال روغو أنه مستعد للشهادة ويتمنى أن يكون شهيدا من أجل دينه، و في 27 أغسطس من نفس السنة، فتح “مسلحون مجهولون” النار على سيارته بينما كان يقل زوجته إلى المستشفى فقتل رحمه الله .
ومن ردود الفعل بعد مقتله خرجت مظاهرات في مدينة مومباسا في منطقة ماجنكو،حيث يوجد المسجد الذي كان يأم الناس فيه، و تم الهجوم على كنيستين، كما و قد قام المتظاهرون بإشعال إطارات السيارات في الطرقات، وقد قتل 2 من ظباط الشرطة وجرح 16 آخرون.

New statement from the The Muslim Youth Center: “Mujāhid Ruta Receives Shahādah”
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful the Most Beneficent
Majengo (19/03/2013) – MYC in Kenya, Tanzania and Somalia can confirm that on 17/03/2013, Mujahid Ruta, a much loved and respected Mujahid from Mtaani received his Shahada at the hands of the Kuffar.
Information suggests that Mujahid Ruta had walked into ‘Angola’ after leaving the Mosque and was shot in the head by two unidentified Kuffars. MYC views this as a callous execution by the Kuffar and a futile attempt to weaken the morale of the Mujahideen in Kenya in their support for Al-Shabaab and Al-Qaeda in East Africa.
In his last moments, as Mujahid Ruta struggled with life on the operating table he was surrounded by friends and the Mujahideen of Mtaani. Within minutes the Mujahideen and friends were carrying his lifeless body through Mtaani to his final resting place to bestow upon him a Mujahideen burial.
Mujahid Ruta’s execution while painful is an exemplary way to receive a Shahada as a Mujahid in East Africa. In spite of the obvious risk to his personal security, Mujahid Ruta chose to serve Allah first and fight the Kuffar courageously in three ‘area codes’ on behalf of the Ummah. For those that were fortunate to know Mujahid Ruta personally, we now understand his favourite phrase: “the rest is left to Allah”.
At this difficult and painful time for MYC, we ask the Mujahideen in Kenya and Tanzania to redirect their anger and obvious desire for revenge to love and support for the family of Mujahid Ruta. They have been denied a loving husband and father. Our duty now is to show and offer support to Mujahid Ruta’s family.
We ask Allah to accept Mujahid Ruta as a martyr.

New statement from the Muslim Youth Center: “On the Suspension of HSM Press Office Twitter Account”
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful the Most Beneficent
Malindi (27/01/2013) – MYC in Kenya, Tanzania and Somalia condemns the blatant attempt by the Kuffar to censor our beloved brothers in Al-Shabaab from disseminating the truth to the Ummah in East Africa. The recent suspension of Al-Shabaab’s Twitter account is nothing more than an erroneous attempt spurred on by U.S. counter-terrorism strategies aimed at disrupting and dismantling global Jihad.
The fact remains the near daily Twitter messages from Al-Shabaab were considered timely and relevant by the Ummah. More so, Al-Shabaab’s messages via Twitter offered unadulterated clarity on the situation and status of the Mujahideen’s campaigns to liberate Somalia from the siege of the Kuffar and apostate.
It is ironic when the Kuffar claims that a basic tenet of its “democracy” is freedom of information and expression that it cringes up when our brothers in Al-Shabaab expose their lies and fabrications through Twitter. Suspension or not, we urge our brothers in Al-Shabaab to soldier on with their sword of truth in unmasking the Kuffar’s plots to silence Muslims both in Somalia and globally.
While we are confident that our brothers in Al-Shabaab will continue to find alternative mediums and forums to spread the message of the Mujahideen, MYC stands prepared to act as one such medium for the dissemination of the Mujahideen’s message to the Ummah. No task is more worthy than spreading the message of Jihad to the Ummah.
We ask Allah to continue strengthening the Mujahideen in Somalia.

New statement from the Muslim Youth Center: “MYC On Abū Manṣūr al-Amrīkī”
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful the Most Beneficent
Tanga (12/01/2013) – Over the past weeks MYC in Kenya and Tanzania have received numerous queries on the status of Abu Mansur Al-Amriki, and asked to confirm whether he has been “detained”, “executed” or “expelled” by our beloved Sheikh Abu Zubeyr (May Allah preserve him for the cause) and Al-Shabaab in Somalia.
While we are aware of these reports, we remind our Mujahideen brothers in Kenya and rest of East Africa that the only legitimate authority on the current status of Abu Mansur Al-Amriki in Al-Shabaab and Somalia is Amir Sheikh Abu Zubeyr and his chosen spokespersons on the matter.
We encourage our inquisitive Mujahideen brothers to revisit and re-read the press release (“Abu Mansur Al-Amriki”) by our beloved brothers Al-Shabaab on 17 December 2012, regarding Abu Mansur Al-Amriki. The press release was a self-explanatory clarification by Al-Shabaab on the matter. In this regard, it is important that the Mujahideen in East Africa refrain from encouraging disunity among the Ummah over the issue of Abu Mansur Al-Amriki but focus on recommitting themselves to Jihad in East Africa under the umbrella of AQEA.
For those Mujahideen that seek to emulate the likes of Abu Mansur Amriki, we ask them to look at the tireless dedication shown by Amir Sheikh Abu Zubeyr and our Amir Sheikh Ahmad Iman Ali (May Allah continue to grant him wisdom), before making their choice of enhancing their image within the discourse of Jihad in East Africa. Jihad will never be about the image of one individual but the collective image of the Mujahideen.
We ask Allah to guide us all on the right path.

New statement from the Muslim Youth Center: “Inciting and Inspiring Jihād: MYC in 2012″
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Korogwe (26/12/2012) – As we move closer to the end of an exciting year, MYC in Kenya, Tanzania and Somalia takes this opportunity to remind the Ummah in East Africa and in particular, the Mujahideen in Kenya of our great triumphs over the Kuffar in 2012.
Our 2012 crusade against the Kuffar, began when the caravan of Jihad set its course for Kenya after our beloved Amir Sheikh Ahmad Iman Ali (May Allah continue to preserve him for the Mujahideen in East Africa), declared in his eminent lecture (“ But If They Seek Your Help In Religion, It’s Your Duty To Help Them”), that the Kuffar state of Kenya had become a legal war zone as part of the Muslim duty to wage defensive Jihad. And in true MYC response – praise be to Allah, many of our lions and cubs heeded our Amir’s message of defending Islam.
Today, eleven months on, hard-hitting lethal messages are being sent to the Kuffar on a near weekly basis, serving as a reminder of the torment being visited upon them due to their policy of humiliating Muslims from Somalia to Kenya on a daily occurrence.
Time and time again, MYC lions and cubs have confronted the Kuffar humiliation both steadfastly and courageously on the battlefield in Kenya, and where ordained by Allah, even sacrificed their young lives in defense of our precious religion. Our preparedness to receive Shahada, without fear or hesitation is a testament of our love for Islam and our commitment in keeping its light glowing in East Africa.
The many martyrs that MYC has produced on the battlefield such as Sheikh Aboud Rogo; Sheikh Samir Khan, Mohamed Kassim; “the Likoni Mujahideen”; Amir Musa Osodo; “Duda Black” and “Duda Brown” have inspired more lions and cubs throughout East Africa in readiness to lay down their lives for the sake of Allah. We ask Allah to grant our martyrs the highest place in Jannah.
Looking forward and preparing for another year of defensive Jihad, Insha’Allah, we must be ready for the usual UN double-standard attack and lies against Muslims in the form of its fictional reports; the propaganda Kenya media labeling Muslims as terrorists while defending KDF war crimes as acts of “peacekeeping”; and sadly, a new Kuffar government that will continue humiliating Muslims in 2013.
Insha’Allah, with the support of our Mujahideen brothers in Somalia, Yemen, Nigeria, and now Mali, our crusade as part of AQEA will continue to incite more lions and offer further inspiration to the cubs that have defined MYC’s “boom” year in 2012.

New statement from the Muslim Youth Center: “Message To Our Beloved Amir Sheikh Aḥmad Imān ‘Alī”
Dear Beloved Amir Sheikh Ahmad Iman
We thank Allah almighty for persevering for you for MYC and the rest of the Mujahideen in East Africa. It is with great satisfaction and admiration that we continue to see you sit at the right handside of Amir Sheikh Abu Zubeyr (May Allah Protect him for us) leading the Mujahideen in battle against the Kuffar in Somalia.
It has been many years since you took that moral decision of selflessness to defend and protect Islam by going +252. And since this departure, the cubs you left behind have become lions and some have even dared to join you in the land of Jihad. Today, those fortunate lions with you are a source of inspiration and recruiting force to the up and coming young cubs of East Africa that yearn to spread the sword here in Kenya and beyond.
Praise be to Allah for in the last couple of months, you have delivered messages and lectures to Kenya and the rest of East Africa, warning of the consequences of their refusal to leave Somalia. So far, the Kuffar has refused to leave Somalia, and in return you have sent back lions into Kenya and East Africa to remind them of your prophetic words on the consequences of invading our Muslim land of Somalia.
With the blessing of Allah, both your lions and cubs pledge and declare that we will not end our support to you as our Amir, and nor will we stop spreading the virtues of Jihad throughout East Africa. You have bestowed upon us a gift of understanding the necessity of Jihad and now we are in your debt forever. If only you could see the restlessness of your MYC lions in Nairobi and the eagerness of your cubs on the Coast to spread the sword of Islam throughout East Africa you would be amazed that your messages and lectures have been stamped on our hearts.
With Allah’s blessing we ask that our restlessness and eagerness translate into a Tsunami of Chinja Chonja Fiyeka in Kenya and East Africa, and that our Taqwa continue to remain strong.
We ask that Allah continue to protect you for the Mujahideen in East Africa.
