New press release from Ḥarakat al-Shabāb al-Mujāhidīn's Shaykh Abū Muṣ'ab 'Abd al 'Azīz: "About the Allegations of the Split of Ḥizb al-Islām From al-Shabāb"
UPDATE 9/27/12 8:36 PM: Here is an English translation of the below Arabic statement:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad.
Allah the Exalted says:
“الذين يتربصون بكم فإن كان لكم فتح من الله قالوا ألم نكن معكم وإن كان للكافرين نصيب قالوا ألم نستحوذ عليكم ونمنعكم من المؤمنين فالله يحكم بينكم يوم القيامة ولن يجعل الله للكافرين على المؤمنين سبيلا”
(Those (hyprocrites) who wait and watch about you; if you gain a victory from Allah, they say: “Were we not with you,” but if the disbelievers gain a success, they say (to them): “Did we not gain mastery over you and did we not protect you from the believers?” Allah will judge between you (all) on the Day of Resurrection. And never will Allah grant to the disbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers.) Qur’an Nisaa 131
The Muslim people know that the Muslims or Mujahideen fighting in Somalia against the crusader enemy have passed through many phases and were able at last to unite their ranks, and for the past two years, the Muslims have been enjoying that unity and goodness and the Mujahideens’ united force. The disbelievers weren’t able to tolerate that blessing, bounty and the united strength; they couldn’t bear seeing that and would love to divide the Muslims and to disperse them.
Yesterday, as many people heard, they said in a released report that they would break the unity the Mujahideen achieved, unity that brought happiness to all the Muslims. These people, what forced them to resort to that tactic precisely in this moment can be attributed to two things.
The first thing is that they want to enter into negotiations with the disbelievers so that they can be given political appointments and seats.
The second is that they saw or rather convinced themselves that the Mujahideen have been weakened now and their power has dwindled.
Those two matters have made them announce that they will destroy the unity and pull back from it.
The negotiations, it’s not the first time we are seeing it. We have seen people who claim to be looking for a solution or to be leaders of those seeking to solve the problem. We can remember that Sharif Murtad started by saying that he would enter into negotiations to look for the problems facing the Muslim Somali population. We then saw him on top of the tanks killing Muslims, shelling and bombing them with what the infidels provided him. That is not a new thing, for people who are clad in the cloth of religion to enter into negotiations with the kuffaar. We have seen many and I expect no one is surprised by this.
As regards the claim that the strength of the Mujahideen has declined, it holds no water, because the Mujahideen hand in hand with the Muslim population are facing strong enmity and the greatest alliance of crusaders in recent times, they are fighting against almost six crusader countries who have invaded the country together with the apostate militias, inflicting on them heavy losses and defeat. That shows that their strength has increased and has made the Muslims to become one and face the enemy together, a force that the enemy hasn’t been able to break through, the enemy being confined to a certain towns while the banner of the Prophet stands in all the other parts of the Wilayahs where they are administered with the Islamic Shari’ah. This is proof that the strength of the Mujahideen has increased.
After leaving the matter concerning that report, I want to reiterate the stance of the Mujahideen on this issue. The stand of the Mujahideen regarding everything that is done in order to break the unity of Muslims, where new groups are formed to deceive the Muslims, the Mujahideen previously released a report by the leadership of the Mujahideen on 26-3-2012, which stated that everyone who tries to divide the Muslims will be seen as an enemy of the Muslims who wants to deceive them and will be confronted with heavy opposition.
So, as soldiers of the Mujahideen, we won’t just oppose this report by words only, but we’ll follow it with action God-willing against all who want to disunite the Muslims and divide them.
All the Muslims who are listening to me in and outside the country, I tell them that Allah has bestowed on them and blessed them to have unity, one leadership, and one flag and to face the same direction. That hasn’t brought happiness to a lot of people, mainly hypocrites and the infidels. You are supposed to strengthen that unity and to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Mujahideen, and to oppose anyone who tries to break that unity by words of mouth and every way possible. That is what is required of you.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمدلله والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد.
يقول الله سبحانه:
(الذين يتربصون بكم فإن كان لكم فتح من الله قالوا ألم نكن معكم وإن كان للكافرين نصيب قالوا ألم نستحوذ عليكم ونمنعكم من المؤمنين فالله يحكم بينكم يوم القيامة ولن يجعل الله للكافرين على المؤمنين سبيلا) 131 سورة النساء.
إن الأمة المسلمة تعرف أن المسلمين والمجاهدين خلال قتالهم في الصومال ضد العدو الصليبي مروا بالعديد من المراحل وأخيرا تمكنوا من توحيد صفوفهم، وخلال العامين الماضيين، كان المسلمين يتمتعون بالوحدة وببركات قوات المجاهدين المتوحدة. لم يتحمل هذه البركة، والألفة، والقوة المتحدة، ولم يطيقوا رؤية ذلك وكانوا يحبون أن يفرقوا المسلمين ويشتتوهم.
بالأمس، كما سمع العديد من الناس، قيل في تقرير نشر أنه سيكون هناك كسر لوحدة المجاهدين التي تحققت، تلك الوحدة التي أسعدت جميع المسلمين. هؤلاء الأشخاص، الذي أجبرهم على اللجوء لذلك التكتيك بالتحديد في هذه اللحظة يمكن إرجاعه إلى أمرين.
الأمر الأول هو أنهم يريدون الدخول في مفاوضات مع الكفار ليتم إعطاؤهم تعيينات ومناصب سياسية.
والشيء الثاني هو أنهم رأوا أو بالأحرى أقنعوا أنفسهم أن المجاهدين قد ضعفوا وأن قوتهم تراجعت.
هذان الأمران جعلهم يعلنون أنهم سيدمرون الوحدة ويتراجعون عنها.
المفاوضات، إنها ليست المرة الأولى التي نراها. لدينا أناس يدعون البحث عن حل أو زعماء لأولئك الذين يزعمون البحث عن حل للأزمة. يمكننا أن نتذكر ذلك المرتد شريف بدأ بالقول أنه سيدخل في مفاوضات من أجل النظار في المشاكل التي يواجهها الشعب الصومالي المسلم. ثم رأيناه على الدبابات يقتل المسلمين، ويقصفهم ويفجرهم بما قدمه الكفار له. هذا ليس شيئا جديدا، للأشخاص الذين يتشحون بلباس الدين للدخول في المفاوضات مع الكفار. لقد رأينا الكثيرين وأنا أتوقع أنه لم يفاجأ أحد بهذا.
وبخصوص إدعاء أن قوة المجاهدين قد ضعفت، فذلك لا يقوم على دليل، لأن المجاهدين يدا بيد مع الشعب المسلم يواجهون عداء شديدا وأقوى تحالف للصليبيين في الآونة الأخيرة، فإنهم تقريبا يقاتلون ضد ستة دول صليبية قد غزت البلاد مع الميليشيا المرتدة، موقعين بهم الخسائر الشديدة والهزيمة. يظهر ذلك أن القوة قد زادت وجعلت المسلمين متحدين ويواجهون العدو معا، وهي قوة لم يستطع العدو أن يكسرها، فالعدو متقوقع في مدن معينة بينما راية النبي مرفوعة في جميع الأجزاء الأخرى من الولايات التي تدار بالشريعة الإسلامية. هذا دليل على أن قوة المجاهدين قد زادت.
وعودة إلى موضوع ذلك التقرير، أريد أن أكرر موقف المجاهدين من هذه المسألة. إن موقف المجاهدين بخصوص كل شيء يجري من أجل كسر وحدة المسلمين، حين تشكل المجموعات الجديدة لخداع المسلمين، فقد صدر سابقا عن المجاهدين بيان من القيادة العامة في 2012-03-26، جاء فيه أنه كل من يحاول أن يقسم المسلمين سينظر إليه كعدو للمسلمين يريد أن يخدعهم وسيواجه بمعارضة شديدة.
لذلك، كقوات للمجاهدين، نحن لن نعارض هذا التقرير بالكلمات فقط، ولكن سنتبعه بالفعل إن شاء الله ضد جميع من يريد تفريق المسلمين وتقسيمهم.
إلى جميع المسلمين الذين يستمعون لي داخل وخارج البلاد، أقول لهم أن الله قد أنعم عليهم وباركهم بالوحدة، والقيادة الواحدة، والراية

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Zabīhullah Mujāhid: "Reaction Regarding Claim by ISAF"

The claim by foreign invader forces based in Kabul earlier today that there has been a 10% decrease in Mujahideen initiated attacks and interpreting this as decline in their capacity is strongly and categorically rejected by us.
Firstly, the attacks by Mujahideen against the invaders are ongoing at its usual pace. One the other hand, the enemy has chosen to withdraw from large parts of the country and have abandoned major bases which naturally amount to a decrease in attacks. Another reason for the decline is that the enemy has chosen to limit its movement outside its bases. No matter what tools Mujahideen use to tempt them out, attack them from close range, bring their bases under missile strikes; still the cowardly enemy does not come out of its hole. The Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate are operating out of their tranches with high moral and strong determination and will continue their assaults against the enemy. That the cowardly enemy refuses to confront Mujahideen face to face, it only displays their own weakness and not that of the heroic Mujahideen. Allah willing, the Mujahideen will turn their focus towards such military operations which will target the enemy with large scale attacks inside their own bases and will force them to flee the country.

New statement from the Muslim Youth Center: "Open Letter To Our Beloved Amīr Abū al-Zubayr"
![]()
Dear Beloved Amir Abu Zubeyr
We thank Allah for preserving you for the mujahideen in Somalia and Kenya, and ask that Allah continue to preserve you to continue your wise and benevolent leadership over the mujahideen.
On behalf of the mujahideen in Kenya MYC is sending an open communication and plea to you our beloved Amir about the propaganda and reports that the murtad Sheikh Shariff was responsible for the planning of the martyrdom operation against the selected president murtad Hassan Sheikh (see: https://www.nation.co.ke/News/Ongeri+reveals+intrigues+behind+Somalias+assassination+plot/-/1056/1509316/-/vxe4qe/-/index.html), and that the mujahideen are about to welcome back the murtad Sheikh Shariff into Al-Shabaab.
As our beloved Amir knows, MYC under the leadership of its Amir Sheikh Ahmad Iman Ali (May Allah keep him strong and focused for the mujahideen in East Africa), has pledged allegiance to your wise leadership through Sheikh Ahmad Iman Ali’s message on the “Bayah of the Mujahideen” released to the mujahideen of Kenya in March 2012. This allegiance is one that both MYC and the mujahideen in Kenya will continue to pledge and bear witness.
However, dear beloved Amir, the propaganda being spread by the kuffars and in their media that the martyrdom operation against the current murtad in Villa Somalia on 12 September 2012 was not an operation by the mujahideen (Al-Shabaab) but by a murtad that has betrayed the mujahideen is a cause for concern to many mujahideen. We say cause for concern because the mujahideen know that this operation was indeed executed by our beloved brothers from Al-Shabaab who have all been elevated to Jannah. For the kuffar to be aloud to spread this desperate propaganda is but an attempt by the kuffar to divide and sow disunity within the mujahideen. Allah knows that the kuffar will fail in his futile attempts to divide us but rather he will unite the mujahideen in East Africa.
Our unity dear beloved Amir, means that the murtad Sheikh Shariff must never be allowed to rehabilitate himself or be allowed to rejoin the global struggle against the kuffar. As our beloved Amir knows too well, this murtad (Sheikh Shariff) was and still remains a puppet of the West and Ethiopia. Irrespective of the West and Ethiopia discarding murtad Sheikh Shariff, there can be no sanctuary for him within the warmth of the mujahideen.
We say unto you our beloved Amir the same words our Amir Sheikh Ahmad Iman Ali said in March of this year: “know that the flag of Tawheed is already raised all over the world and everyone should be prepared to join the caravan of Jihad”. MYC is already on board this caravan and we are encourage others to join but we seek your wisdom in rejecting the likes of murtad Sheikh Shariff or overtures of murtads that seek to deceive the mujahideen.
We ask that Allah continue to protect you for the mujahideen in East Africa.
MYC

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Zabīhullah Mujāhid: "Remarks Regarding Report Published By Royal United Services Institute"

Shawwal 24, 1433 A.H, Wednesday, September 12, 2012
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly condemns this malicious and strictly propaganda based report of the said think-tank and declares it has no plans of prolonging the American invasion of Afghanistan even for a single day.
Our religion, national interests, national pride and values forbid us from making such illegitimate deals or agreeing to the continuation of invasion or accepting their revolting presence due to fear and our own safety. We believe that this report by the so called think-tank, based on the opinions of a few anonymous faces, is fabricated and consider it the direct work and move of the intelligence circles prepared for its people and for raising the moral of its defeated troops.
In this regard, we ask all media outlets to contact the official spokesmen of Islamic Emirate for verification before publishing such fabrications for propaganda purposes so to affirm their impartiality and negate deceiving the masses.
Spokesman of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

New statement from Ḥarakat al-Shabāb al-Mujāhidīn's Shaykh ‘Alī Moḥamūd Raage (Shaykh ‘Alī Dheere): "On the Elections"

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Mogadishu (11/09/2012) – As is well known, Somalia has for several years been suffering from the plots of the Crusader enemies, under the patronage of the United Nations and the African Union. The latest of these plots in which a number of Western agents have been revised is the so called ‘presidential election’.
Harakat Al-Shabaab Al-Mujahideen does not regard the so called elections as being in the interests of the Somali people. They represent Western interests, and interests of their agents in the region. Sharif’s replacement is nothing more than a revised edition of traitors serving those interests.
The selection of Sheikh Sharif’s replacement is a further attempt to hoodwink the oppressed Somali people. How can a ‘free and fair election’ take place in a country where the land is suffering a brutal occupation, where its sea is plundered, the skies are occupied, and where the economy is under siege?
An election is not possible except in the manner dictated by the occupier. The condition of the parliament ascertains this, more than two thirds of the MPs hold foreign passports. They do not represent the aspirations of the Somali people, rather, they represent the countries in which they hold citizenship.
We will continue to fight these apostates as we have been fighting them before. The so called election came to maintain the status quo, allowing foreign companies to steal Somalia’s resources and to destroy its economy.
We call upon the Somali people not to be decieved by these plots, and to continue supporting Jihad and the Mujahideen until we regain our honour, we free our land, and Sharia is established in the entire country.
Sheikh Ali Mahmud Rage
Official Spokesman
Harakat Al-Shabaab Al-Mujahideen
