This story is about an individual who had been a member of the Shabab until karma caught up with him. Ali was perhaps the most extreme Shabab member I have ever met. Ironically, the Shabab security department arrested him for being a spy and held him in safe houses in Mogadishu, Baidoa, and finally in Marka. The Shabab judges apparently only consider live confessions, and almost none of the detainees would make confessions to the judge, prompting new, more vicious torture tactics to be administered by the Shabab security operatives. To achieve long-term security in Somalia, former Shabab members should be discharged from the security forces and reintegrated back into society.
