al—shabab has been very active, essentially since 2016 or 2017, al—shabab has been on the offensive andia. neither the somali army or the african union forces at the time were dictating what was happening on the battlefield, or taking action against al—shabaab. al—shabaab was taking the action to the security forces and to the populations, including in mogadishu, where it exhorts many businesses. al—shabab has regularly engaged in the type of horrific attack that we have just been watching unfolding for two reasons. one is to demonstrate its potency, particularly to external audiences, outside of somalia, to potential recruits outside of somalia, as well as to the somali population, but the second is frequently a retaliation when a business or an entity refuses to pay extortion fees, which al—shabab regularly connects across mogadishu, as well as elsewhere in somalia, but even in the capital. looking under the bigger picture when it comes to islamist extremist groups, who are al—shabab aligned to? you are their allegiances with? al—shabab�*s allegiance remains to al-qaeda. the islamic s

al—shabab is the main islamist militant group in somalia.ged in a long—running conflict with the federal government. some believe this deadly assault is a reaction to the government's recent comments saying they will intensify their response to the armed militant group. unfortunately we have had several years of really bad governance in somalia, which has, like in afghanistan, really weakened the somali forces further, often aligning them with particular plans and particular politicians. so it has long been feared as we have waited for this delayed and delayed government finally to to succeed this may, that this was strengthening al—sha bab. security forces claim the gunmen have now been killed, and the siege has ended. but this hasn't yet been verified. and whilst this battle may be over, many are anxiously waiting to hear news about their loved ones who were trapped inside during this deadly attack. emily brown, bbc news. the bbc�*s emmanuel igunza is in neighbouring kenya. he has more on what is happening on the ground. really grim pictur

there has also been no statement from al—shabab so far.been victim portraits that have been shared online, many who were said to be business or at the hayat hotel. others who are members, who are visiting family members in mogadishu. it is not clear if government officials were caught in the crossfire violence but these details will continue emerging, especially if the police do give an update pretty soon. and this is the first attack of its kind, i believe, since the new president took office in may. what do we think was al—shabab�*s motive for this attack? well, al—shabab had a very brief statement when it claimed the attack yesterday evening. they talked about targeting government and security officials. in many instances, al—shabab is opposing the government, they did issue a stern statement when the president took office injune this year. they have also been opposing any government forces or any security forces in many of their strongholds, so this could be a statement against the government. and just recently, the government appointe

their attack is a typical al—shabab attack.on of al—shabab attacks after the election this year. president hassan sheikh mohammed was elected on a promise to curb the insurgency. how much success has he had so far? it's very early to put a judgment on this but it is, he is inheriting structural problems in the security architecture of somalia that has to be solved. the security structure in somalia has been very bad at providing security to ordinary somalians and al—shabab have taken advantage of that by pressuring ordinary somalians to pay money to the organisation, so—called taxing, and increasing their wealth. so it inherited a lot of problems. this is going to be difficult because he has an army that has been plagued by corruption, it has been plagued by lack of payment, although that has improved, so there is going to be a lot of difficulties but so far, there has been some struggles after the election, but as i said also, al—shabab has intensified their attacks. south korea and the united states are holding their largest

al shabab has been trying to overthrow the government.ried out attacks in somalia but also here in kenya, including a major attack at a hotel complex here. in 2020 they attacked a u.s. base in northern kenya so this is a terrorist group that has been actively fighting not just u.s. and somali troops in somalia but also here in kenya. the u.s. has been carrying out air strikes. last sunday an air strike is said to have killed 13 al shabab fighters. there were no civilian casualties. but this is an escalation in al shabab's fight against the new government in somalia and all the combined regional and u.s. troops fighting trying to push them back in somalia, fredricka. >> thank you so much, larry madowo from nairobi. >>> coming up, a crucial colorado river pipeline that delivers much-needed water to southern california will be shut down for 15 days to repair a leak stretching southern california's water supply. details straight ahead. he y can l 99.9% of viruses and bacteria. keeping kids together here, at places like the lunch tatable. wher
