Mogadishu, 07 June 2014((GNA)-Somali Federal Government Information Minister Musfa Dhuhulow welcomes one of the Al-shabab’s Leaders back the faith of this Militia Mohammad Sa’ed Atom.
“We Welcome Sheikh Mohamed Said Atom’s Rejection of Al-Shabaab and Hope this Inspires Others to Follow his Example and Embrace Peace and Unity” said Mustafa Dhuhulow.
Press Conference are Held both of Dhuhulow and Atom have Declared that man has resigned his Believing the faith of Al-shabab.
Minister Said statement “On behalf of H.E. President Hassan Sheik Mohamud, the Prime Minister, H.E. Abdiweli Sheik Ahmed and the Federal Government of Somalia, the Ministry of Information commends Sheikh Mohamed Said Atom’s rejection of al-Shabaab, and hopes his brave step inspires others to follow his example and embrace peace and unity.
Sheik Atom has exposed the reality of al-Shabaab: un-Islamic and un-Somali, the puppets of foreign masters and riven by internal feuds. The insight he gives into the hellish reality of life under al-Shabaab completely contradicts the myths they spread in the media and he has the gratitude of Somalis everywhere for exposing their lies. Their blocking of aid agencies from Somalis in desperate need is a crime against humanity and Sheik Atom’s description of Al-Shabaab says it all “They have no regard to general public who are in grave difficulties; such as displaced people whom they starve by blocking the relief assistance from generous Muslims and non-Muslims” said Sheikh Atom.
The Federal Government of Somalia has consistently offered members of al-Shabaab who have realised the error of their ways and who renounce violence the opportunity to reintegrate with Somali society and guarantees their safety. As Sheik Atom says we can solve our differences through peaceful means, “I would like to declare that as of today I have decided to resolve my religious and political persuasion through peaceful means and understanding.” Sheikh Atom concluded.
On the Other hand Sheikh Atom said on the Statement:-
“I have important news for the people of Somalia.
I have been tolerating the misleading of Ahmed Abdi Godane and his group towards the Sharia of Islam and Muslims.
I have today decided to leave Al-Shabaab for many reasons such as;
1. Youths were told that they are fighting to strengthen the Sharia of Islam, and they sentence people, however, Ahmed Godane and his cohorts don’t abide by the Sharia and no one can sentence them for it.
2. They deliberately kill Somali people who are muslims, and they kill them in markets, on roads and in Mosques.
3. They kill Muslims Ulumas and important people that they disagree with something, and they kill them, even when they are praying in the Mosques.
4. Jihad is for Allah, and it is something that is required for all Muslims while they are in unity. Ahmed Abdi proclaims that Jihad is something that belongs to him, therefore, he orders to kill, maim, detain, humiliate in the name of Jihad; until the rest are forced to flee.
5. They have no regard to general public who are in grave difficulties; such as displaced people whom they starve by blocking the relief assistance from generous Muslims and non-Muslims.
I would like to inform the members of Alshabab that by abandoning Al-Shabaab doctrine is NOT equivalent of apostasy, and those who criticize their actions and tactics, doesn’t mean that they criticize the Shariah and the religion in general. Islam is compassionate religion and it is for all.
Muslims can disagree on issues, but Allah mercifully asked them to refer to the Quran and settle with unity. Ahmed and his cohorts have no aspiration to do just that. Thus, I have my suspicion that they are working for a foreign agenda.
Finally, I would like to declare that as of today I have decided to resolve my religious and political persuasion through peaceful means and understanding. I have settled some of it already with the Federal Government of Somalia and I would like to thank them for the warm welcome accorded to me.
