"Hammami has been desperately calling on al-Qaeda for a while and it has failed to help him, so it became clear to him that al-Qaeda did not have any use for him, and al-Shabaab was searching for him, so he abandoned both," Abdirahman told Sabahi.
"Xamaami ayaa in muddo ah si quus ay ku jirto ugu miciin dalbanayay al-Qaeda, waana ay ku guul-darreysatay in ay caawiso, sidaa daraadeed waxaa u cadaatay in al-Qaeda aanay u baahneeyn, iyada oo al-Shabaab ay isaga baadi goobaysay, sidaa daraadeed labadaba waa uu ka baxay," ayuu Cabdiraxmaan yiri.
