NEFA Foundation Report: "Shabaab al-Mujahideen - Migration and Jihad in the Horn of Africa."
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation has released a new report that I have written titled, "Shabaab al-Mujahideen: Migration and Jihad in the Horn of Africa." The report is a comprehensive analysis of the Shabaab al-Mujahideen ("Mujahideen Youth") Movement in Somalia, including sub-chapters on "The Early Years - Al-Ittihad al-Islami (AIAI) and 'Blackhawk Down'"; "Ethiopia and the Ogaden War (1993-1997)"; "The Islamic Courts Union (ICU)"; "Rise of the Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement"; "The Current Status of Shabaab and its Islamist Rivals"; "The Role of Foreign Fighters"; "Shabaab's Propaganda Strategy and Media Infrastructure"; and, "Shabaab al-Mujahideen and the Issue of Ocean Piracy".
The report can be downloaded from the NEFA Foundation website.
