More than 20 are already in detention and the number looks set to increase. Drama and heartache as the netherlands and sweden go into extra time for the womens world cup well get more from the host city friends. Im sorry so much going to its great to have you with us the Somali Terrorist Group alshabaab has been waging a campaign of violence in somalia for more than a decade their aim is to replace the u. N. Backed government and impose islamic law and African Union force has seized back control of the capital mogadishu but alshabaab still controls around 20 percent of the country and the government is offering amnesty and rehabilitation to some militants who leave the group melanie was given rare access to one Rehabilitation Center in profits she spoke to former militants there about why they decided to leave al shabaab and the nightmares they still have. That you know they were part of it killing machine terrorizing somalias population but now theyre asking for forgiveness this facility in juba land its home to 86 young men who used to fight for one of the deadliest islamist extremist groups in the world. Here in Southern Somalia and a town once under siege by alshabaab a program is being implemented to rehabilitate one extremist fighters with the hope of peacefully reintegrating them into society. The former fighters here mostly men aged between 24 and 29 have been granted amnesty and are seeking a 2nd chance 2 of them are willing to share why is it decided to defect. For their safety and security we have withheld the location and Real Identities by calling them and that. Was just 15 years old when he joined the group 5 years ago but the order in book could be 1st people join because the religion they say about promoting religion but this is just a front actually theyre killing innocent people for no reason or to fight in this could be. Similarly joined at the age of 16 it took a made years to escape from the group. If they also killed muslims in their tack when i saw my people dying i decided i had to break away of the. Many men growing up in disenfranchised and poor parts of the country but led into joining us above for financial reasons and a sense of belonging. To address this these men now receive locational training in hands on group classes. I did not know how to live within society i learned that here ive learned how to support myself. But many here are still haunted by nightmare. They struggle to fathom how they were capable of such violence. Just 70 kilometers away from this now peaceful town peacekeepers mandated by the African Union are still waging a war against the militant group. But. Its. Fought a lot and liberated several areas in the past 2 or 3 months. We are also working on a plan to liberate the areas still under the control of alshabaab and hand them over to the somali army. In the. Back of the rehab really taishan facility these young men receive professional psychological support. But above all its companionship and leisure time that are helping them to overcome that trauma. But we can talk to each other about all the things weve done wrong and give each other support about how not to fall back into our destructive winds. For somalia i hope for the birth of a United Government and for my life i hope to work for the benefit of my country and for my people with the new skills he sent men to intend to make a positive contribution to society again to help other young people than the stake of joining up in the 1st place. Reported that story for us from somalia she joins us from more from nairobi now hi melanie are this Rehabilitation Program successful. These programs successful overwhelming need those who partake in these programs do graduate successfully and reintegrate into society its impossible to get nationwide numbers on how many people have been leaving alshabaab because its a country at war but when it comes to this facility almost 300. 00. Fighters have been in rehab and in taishan and they have been able. To go back into their societies and settle in their communities the government does give amnesty grant amnesty to everyone who decides to leave the group so there is an incentive but of course its incredibly difficult to do so the group makes it incredibly hard to the people ive spoken to in the city they told me that they were born numerous times that if they did leave they would have a lethal violence coming that way and thats why we had to hide their identities but they also hopeful that by telling their stories they can inspire others to do the same so these fighters are rehabilitated they rejoin their communities but how do Somali People feel about these programs given their experiences with alshabaab. The many Somali People i have spoken to really gave me the impression that they believe its an absolute necessity that programs and amnesty as such as this one exist in somalia its the only way to pave the way to peace its the only way to get rid of al shabaab we went to a city which has been liberated from a few years ago its a place where people slowly coming back brittanys refugees coming back to the city its coming back to life in 10 you displaced somalis settling in the area and they told me the stories that they will women telling me about how they lost their husbands how they were on the run for years how theyre still not able to go back to their villages because they are under control from alshabaab and they. I think that these stories its really impossible not to feel the fear and the pain there is no such thing as safety yet but there is hope and programs like this one really do give the people hope that on the other hand melanie as we mentioned alshabaab still controls around a 5th of the country how has this group managed to maintain its grip on so much of the country. Despite a long growing combat operations by the African Union and Somali Security forces does indeed still hold large swathes of the country especially in rural area of course its known to be using indiscriminate violence against the somali population but its also known to be able to generate revenue to look off to its fighters and their families financially and to provide services for the somali population that many have to turn to in the absence of strong state institutions so in a country suffering from drought or poverty its really drawing out about withdrawing its power from from the desperation of the people the power comes from the weakness of the state.
