Al Shabab leader tells Kenyan public: Kenyans, You have entered into a war that is not yours

Barawe, Somalia - Al Shabab leader Ahmed Abdi Godane [known as Mukhtar Abu Zubeir] has warned against Kenya following Westgate Mall attack that killed more than 70 people after four days of siege, RBC Radio reports.

The group’s leader who released first recorded voice since Al Shabab claimed the responsibility of the Westgate in Nairobi.

“We tell the Kenyan public: You have entered into a war that is not yours and is serving against your national interests.” Godane said in his speech which is translated into English, Somalia and also Kiswahili languages.

On Tuesday Al Shabab released the names of 17 of its fighters who stormed into the busy mall in Nairobi and continued to seize until Tuesday.

The Al Shabab leader ironically said that the attack was also a slap in the face of on the dwindling economy of the Kenyan government and has also successfully foiled the clandestine schemes of the Zionist Jews in Kenya.

“It’s a disaster for the Western politicians and their intelligence apparatuse who have miserably failed to save their own citizens.” Godane added.

The Al Shabab leader again voiced its demand towards the withdrawal of the Kenyan forces in Somalia, operating under the name of African Union Mission [AMISOM].

“you still have an opportunity to reflect and reach a conclusive decision and hold your politicians to account. Do not wait for Uhuru Kenyatta to bring about a solution to your problems as he has no further objectives beyond that presidential seat.” Ahmed Godane said.

Kenya started three days to mourn the death of more than 70 people killed in the Westgate mall as the government said on Wednesday that with the help of Western spy agencies, it was investigating the mall attack.
