#AlQaeda linked group #AlShabaab is benefiting from large amounts of money being transferred from #Minnesota to #Somalia via Somali refugees who are receiving checks from #US govt! Illustrating once again vast interconnecting #terrorist networks! www.jpost.com/internationa...

Al-Shabaab is an Al-Qaeda affiliate with international ties, not a local movement. Misrepresenting federal member states as 'disputed' where Al-Shabaab isn't present spreads harmful misinformation. Accurate reporting matters. #Somalia #AlShabaab #FactCheck @AfricaACSS #HornAfrica #Security #HoA
