Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has issued a general amnesty to members of the Al-Shabaab group, calling on misguided youth within its ranks to surrender and peacefully reintegrate into Somali society.<\/p>\n

The Somali president has urged Al-Shabaab fighters to completely abandon their extremist ideology and return to their homes and families.<\/p>\n

The president has pledged that the Federal Government of Somalia will guarantee that anyone who voluntarily leaves the group will receive a full amnesty and security.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s decision comes as the government says it is conducting operations against Al-Shabaab in the country. Intelligence reports confirm that the group is facing severe internal financial difficulties, which has forced its leadership to cut salaries for its fighters, the government said.<\/p>\n

The federal government said it sees the amnesty as a strategic move that provides an immediate opportunity for disillusioned members to leave.<\/p>\n

It described it as a plan to accelerate the defection of many members from Al-Shabaab, in order to weaken its operational capacity without firing a shot.<\/p>\n
