...... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa...deputy leader Mukhtar Robow says he too has human compassion and has lost close family members to al-Shabaab since he denounced the group's extremism ideologies and defected to the government where he is leading the crackdown against the bully boys.
Robow, now serving as minister for Religious Affairs and Endowment, says his family is fully immersed in the fight against al-Shabaab who control large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia. Since he took up the role, Robow has been assisting the government to counter the bully boys.
