– Al-Shabab Islamist fighters have ordered Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys to
hand over weapons he took from Yusuf Indho Ade, sources said on Tuesday.
Sheik Yusuf Mohamed Siad Indho Ade had handed over his weapons to Sheik
Hassan Dahir Aweys who belongs to his sub clan Cayr, of Habar Gidir clan
after al-Shabab took control of most contested areas in the capital.
Al-Shabab told Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, the chairman of the Asmara
based Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia to hand over Indho Ade´s
weapons.
Indho Ade is a great opponent to Al-Shabab and he was dealing with the
Somali government when things suddenly changed after the Shabab got
territorial gains from the government.
Sheik Aweys has reportedly turned down to hand over the weapons. The
move comes after days that Al-Shabab and Hisbul Islam have jointly
fought against the fledgling government led by president Sharif Sheik
Ahmed.
The difference between al-Shabab and Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys may lead
to infighting between Hisbul Islam, the group that Mr. Aweys leads and
the Shabab.
