More on Somali Remittances

The New York Times ran an article on 3 August 2013 by Nicholas Kulish titled "Somalis Face a Snag in Lifelines from Abroad" that poses additional problems for money transfer companies such as Dahabshil. It cites the 12 July 2013 UN Monitoring Group Report on Somalia (page 58), which says that last year al-Shabaab operatives used Dahabshil to send money to Somalia to support the assassination of government officials.
