The Federal Government of Somalia has displayed a member of the Al-Shabaab fighters, who was identified as Issack Mayow Mohamud, famously known as Sayib, who surrendered to the 60th Division of the National Security Forces.
Several Al-Shabab leaders have in the recent past surrendered to government forces during the security operations in the regions of the country as government forces intensify operations and continue to liberate new areas.
The picture and information of Isaack, which was disseminated in the government media, said that he was a member of Al-Shabaab for four years and was in charge of a section of the group known as ‘Jabhada’.
Isaack Mayow Mohamud who spoke to the government media called on his other friends in Al-Shabaab fighters to surrender and come to the Somali Armed Forces according to reports from the government.
The surrender of Issack comes at a time when the National Center for the Prevention and Combating of the so-called extremist ideas Tubsan has informed all members of Al-Shabaab who are interested and willing in surrendering to the government that they can contact them.
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has previously called on young Al-Shabab fighters who are “brainwashed” and cheated with a wrong ideology to surrender to the government amid ongoing military offensives against the group.
Former Minister of Internal Security Abdullahi Mohamed Nur Ibrahim Adan Ibrahim was appointed as the Deputy Director of the National Center in Tubsan which is counterterrorism centre
A statement issued by the national center in Tubsan stated that all members of the Al-Shabaab group who are willing to surrender to the government can contact a special number that the center has prepared to help them.
Second phase of operations against Al-Shabab fighters is set to start as government forces backed by the local forces have intensified the operations on al-Shabab group in Somalia to flush the out of those remaining areas.
