?HOW ETHIOPIA AND AL-SHABAAB CRIPPLED WESTERN EFFORTS IN SOMALIA in this groundbreaking memoir, a former Danab Special Forces Commander reveals the shocking truth behind Somalia's prolonged instability. With unprecedented access to high-level military and government operations from 2004 to 2019, the author exposes how Ethiopia's hidden agenda converged with Al-Shabaab's terrorism to undermine both Western security interests and Somalia's state-building efforts. Drawing from firsthand experience in presidential security and counterterrorism operations, he details Ethiopia's deliberate weakening of Somalia's National Army while pretending to support it, the strategic bombardment of civilian areas and government compounds, and the clandestine collaboration between Ethiopian forces and Al-Shabaab terrorists.
The book meticulously documents the 2006-2009 Ethiopian invasion, the author's eyewitness account of Katyusha rocket attacks on Villa Somalia, and the systematic dismantling of Somalia's democratic processes. Through thirteen revealing chapters, it chronicles the Transitional Federal Government's struggle for legitimacy, the transformation of the Islamic Courts Union into Al-Shabaab, and the complex dynamics of African Union peacekeeping missions.?
