Islamist group Al Shabaab rejoiced in the decision of the African Union to boost its military presence in Somalia.
Sheik Ali Mohamoud Raghe Sheik Ali Dhere, spokesman of the radical group radical statements happen after AU announced Tuesday during its Summit in Kampala, Uganda, that would send more 2,000 troops to the country which is also knowm as the corn of Africa.
Ali Dhere vehemently opposed the Transitional Federal Government in Somalia. He said that the Somali government and its supporters (the peacekeepers serving the African Union Mission in Somalia – Amisom) failed to get what they asked for.
“In the face of pressure, the puppet government and its supporters begged for massive military support,” said Sheikh Ali Dhere.
“They only got a ‘promise’ of small increase in the number of soldiers serving mercenary purposes,” he added.
The cleric said that the African leaders left the venue without fully responding to the pleas addressed at them.

“They only got the promise of 2,000 soldiers coming, followed by another 2000,” remarked Sheikh Ali Dhere.
He added that such increase will not help the beleaguered AU mission here (in Somalia).
