Al-Shabaab gives clan elders 45-day ultimatum to repent or be killed for appointing MPs

Somalia militant group Al-Shabaab has threatened to kill all clan elders involved in picking Federal MPs unless they repent within 45 days.

The group in a statement accused the elders of establishing an “apostate administration contrary to Islam.

The group also want those who have repented registering their names with them for their own safety, as those not in the list will be executed.

“The only form of legislation that Allaah has chosen for mankind and that can unite the Muslims all over the world is Islamic Shari’ah. Any other form of legislation besides the law of Allaah is considered null and void and worthy of being abolished.”

It continued “Since the right of legislation solely belongs to Allaah, the leadership of Harakat Al-Shabaab Al-Mujahideen hereby notifies all Muslims that the so-called tribal elders who appointed the members
of the apostate Somali Parliament have fallen into clear-cut disbelief that has invalidated their Islam, nullified their faith and led them towards the path of apostasy and misguidance.

The so-called apostate tribal elders are the ones who selected the apostate parliamentarians who are contending against Allaah in His sole right to legislate and govern, and have openly declared themselves as the lawmakers the leadership of Harakat Al-Shabaab Al Mujahideen hereby issues a call to repentance to the so-called tribal elders who participated in the selection of the apostate parliamentarians demanding that they repent to Allaah, disavow themselves from the disbelievers and accept the sovereignty of Allaah’s Law above all forms of legislation.
