A sure many will give accounts of such harrowing experience in Somalia so much so that no other youth will want to go there. Or how does govt ever hope to win back youths who have been brainwashed / promised bliss in Somalia and actually expect so?
Once you join Alshabab you NEVER come out alive. They are very bruttle. no comms no frredom..you don't know what is happning next. ...just take orders as they are...you question you get a bullet. If they suspect you of thinking to leave....dead you are.The foot fellows know NOTHING totaly,they even don't know their current locations as they are moved under darkness cintinually. The only released are those confirmed purely indoctrinated fellows who are ready for suicidee missions. My brother if you here of A surrendered youth be wary. The only ones you can count on are the prisoners of war.
Boris, the long and short of my argument is that govt is failing terribly on strategy. You do not win the hearts of the youth by announcing measures that imply you actually expect attacks. You can only win by countering the indoctrination by rogue imams, and telling the true story of what happens in Somalia, or hell, is what would help. Let the govt become more innovative. The more you deny a kid something,the more they want it,unless you do some training. Moi started mwakenya to fight the 'dissidents', this is not a good example though, but he managed to instill fear and disdain for the 'dissidents' amongst the public
You may not win against propaganda wars if you do not become more innovative
