Islamic State Tries to Enter Somalia

The Terrorism Monitor published on 29 April 2016 an article titled "Jahba East Africa: Islamic State Alters the Dynamic of Somalia's Conflict" by Sunguta West, an independent journalist based in Nairobi.

A group calling itself Jahba East Africa, which is aligned with the Islamic State, is trying to challenge al-Shabaab in Somalia. The author argues this development will complicate the conflict both for the African Union forces in the country and the much stronger al-Shabaab terrorist organization.
