| Summary: | This research studies the policies and views of the United Nations and major Western nations on Al-Shabaab
movement. The research also examines al-Shabaab’s recruitment methods and strategies. The objective of the
research is to broadly evaluate the reactions of al-Shabaab to Western policies on their political administration of
Somalia. The research employs analytical methodology to arrive at inclusive conclusions. The importance of the
study lies on the political imperativeness of the region and the UN failure to intervene, successfully, on its
bloody, ideological and ethnic-based conflicts. As early as 1991 the UN intervened in Somalia’s conflict but to
this date all UN attempts to resolve Somalia’s political predicament remained futile. Islamists came on board to
Somalia’s political fiasco in 2006 and they could remain for some time. What is remarkable to observe
nonetheless, is their capriciously unpredictable political attitude. In the current political epoch of the Muslim
world, groups like al-shabaab, Taliban and al-Qaeda seem out of touch with the new breed of comparatively
young Muslim generation. |
