[QUOTE]Al-Shabab militants have banned citizens in the areas of Somalia they control from using the internet. They gave all communication companies providing web services a 15-day ultimatum to shut down their operations. 'Any company or individual that is found ignoring the call will be considered to be working with the enemy and they will be dealt with in accordance to the Sharia' or Islamic law, the statement which was posted on pro-Shabab websites added. The militants impose strict laws in the zones under their control and frequently arrest people on suspicion of 'spying'. The internet is widely used in Somalia, which has been wracked by civil war for more than two decades. Al-Shabab once controlled most of southern and central Somalia but withdrew from fixed positions in Mogadishu two years ago. African Union troops - including large contingents from Uganda, Kenya and Burundi - have since recaptured a series of insurgent bastions and tried to prop up Somalia's fledgling government forces. But a string of devastating al-Shabab attacks against foreign and government targets have shattered hopes of a rebirth for the war-ravaged capital and demonstrated that the Islamist outfit's disruptive power is undiminished.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.skynews.com.au/world/article.aspx?id=940449"]http://www.skynews.com.au/world/article.aspx?id=940449[/URL]

What if the reason they are banning the internet is because of the NSA spying on them? Don't you think about that?

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;43475249]internet fucking sucks[/QUOTE] imagine if they were banning internet not over "religious" reasons but because some boss figure at shabbab got all butthurt playing cod or sth
Damn, did all of the internet providers comply? To be honest if I owned one of these branches I would.

[QUOTE=yerer;43481149]Haha way to be hypocrites[/QUOTE] in a perfect world they would then explode into a puff of hypocrisy
It's funny cause the used the internet, I think they are mad they kept getting banned on twitter. I don't really see why twitter bans those guys. Sure they're crazy but let a man tweet.
[QUOTE=yerer;43481149]Haha way to be hypocrites[/QUOTE] This is actually a really good example of irony, too.
There is like a total of 5 people who have internet access there.
This'll sound ignorant as shit, but after hearing so much about Al Shabab, I never bothered to look up where they actually operated. So at least I learned something from this debacle.
