The Center for Policy Analysis and Research (CfPAR) published on 19 September 2014 an analysis titled "
The Demise of Al-Shabaab Leader: End of the Game?" by Abukar Sanei, director of CfPAR. He concludes that the death of Ahmed Abdi Godane will not be the end of the game for al-Shabaab in Somalia because the organization is a group based on ideology, not individuals.
