Al Shabaab, meaning The Youth in Arabic, is the largest militant organization fighting to oust the Somalian government. The group seeks to control territory within Somalia in order to establish a society based on its rigid interpretation of Shariah law.
Al-Shabaab's predecessor was al-Ittihad al-Islami (AIAI), which worked to create an Islamist emirate in Somalia. It was partially funded by former al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
