Detention and the number looks set to increase. Class drama and heartache as the netherlands and sweden go into extra time at the womens world cup well go to the host city for highlights. Im sumi so much going to thanks for joining us the Somali Terrorist Group alshabaab has been waging a campaign of violence in somalia for more than a decade they are aim is to replace the u. S. 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 the government is offering amnesty and we have the taishan to some militants who leave the group did only as melanie korda bol was given rare access to one Rehabilitation Center in. Province she spoke to former militants there about why they decided to leave al shabaab and the like bears they still house. That they were part of a killing machine terrorizing somalias population but now theyre asking for forgiveness for 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 in a town once under siege by al shabaab a program is being implemented to rehabilitate 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 they decided to defect. For their safety and security we have withheld the location and Real Identities by calling them and that. He says i was just 15 years old when he joined the group 5 years ago but the order in book could be you know at 1st people join because the religion they say theyre promoting religion but this is just a front actually theyre killing innocent people for no reason or another thought it was going to go. Similarly who joined us above at the age of 16 it took them a deist escape from the group to see. If they also killed muslims in that attack when i saw my people dying i decided i had to break away had been. Through so. Many men growing up in disenfranchised and poor parts of the country but led into joining for financial reasons and to spend that 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 as they struggle to pay them what they were capable of such fine. Just 70 kilometers away from this now peaceful town peacekeepers mandated by the African Union are still waging a war against the minute and crude. But. We have 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 al shabaab and them over to the somali army. To me. Back at the rehab and taishan facility these young men receive professional psychological support. But above all its companionship and leisure time that are helping them to overcome the trauma. But we can talk to each other about all the things weve done wrong and give each of the 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 their new skills he sent men to intend to make a positive contribution to society again. They hope other young people. Mistake of joining up in the 1st place. Melanie 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 overwhelmingly 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. Because its a country at war but when it comes to this facility almost 300. 00. Have been in rehab really 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 if the group makes it incredibly hot the people ive spoken to in the city they told me that they would want 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 are 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 al shabaab. The many Somali People i have spoken to really gave me the impression that they believe its an absolute necessity that programs and amnesty such as this one exist in some on yet 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 would be coming back brittanys refugees coming back to the city its coming back to live in tiny 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. These stories its really impossible not to feel their fear and their 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 long going combat operations by the African Union and Somalia 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 war poverty is really drawing alshabaab its drawing its power from the from the desperation of the people the power comes from the weakness of the state. Reporting for us thank you very much. Now the u. N.

A large portion of all the messages about solidarity of our citizens said the facts. Are there is a kind of wall and Community Spirit of the protest was.

Still to come on news afghan women who play for the countrys National Team helped launch a movement against the backdrop of the womens world cup they say and its chief have done little to stand up sexual harassment. But 1st lets check in now on the world cup and the netherlands have secured their spot in sundays final against defending champions the u. S. Now the european champions were pushed to the limit by sweden but prevailed thanks to a goal in extra time. The 2nd 74 go in 2 days and started with more crunching tackles than clearcut chances to our lead story go quick to close down yonder medium are here. Both sides could have scored in the 2nd half but both keepers fiercely defended their goal was swedens neela fish it was denied by fingertips a from sorry found feenan doll at one end before a bullet headed for a medium a was met by an equally impressive stop from haiti lindahl the other. Ultimately neither team was able to break through in 90 minutes in extra time though i suppose from distance to the tick i jackie grew with her 1st ever world cup goal sending the netherlands into their 1st ever world cup final. No chance for keeper lindo no way back for her side only the more to us now stand in the netherlands way. Oliver moody founded abuse sports is in the over hes been following the womens world cup for us good morning ali what did you think of the 2nd semifinal. Well we were really spoiled with the 1st semifinal between the u. S. And england you know that was a game that really had everything in it the 2nd semifinal did not live up to those standards really it was quite a drab 90 minutes before we went to extra time both teams were playing quite defensive football and that didnt really give the quality attacking players a chance to shine and also i think many of them just werent on form because thats all aside from the goal itself that was a moment of real quality jackie grown in there latching on to a loose ball outside the box and firing home i thought it was a really well taken strike and actually it was a moment that sitting there in the stands watching it made me think why couldnt we have seen more moments like this and in this game there are quality players on both sides and that if anything kind of made the the rest of the match look worse but ultimately the netherlands got them into the final and thats all that counts and now the dutch have to face the defending champions the u. S. Do they have a chance in their 1st world cup final. They do have a chance but you would have to think its going to be a slim chance certainly theyre going to have to play a whole lot better than they did against sweden in the semifinal and particular an attack theyre going to have to be be much better much quicker at playing the ball forward than they were gets when if they go in if theyre going to trouble the u. S. Back line theyre going to be sweating i think on the fitness of the former player of the year now she has been struggling with a tough injury throughout this tournament she had to go off half time in the game against weighted so president s and her fitness for the final could be could make a big difference but of course while i dont think the netherlands have a particularly good chance of winning the final the dutch fans im sure see things differently lets hear what they think about the upcoming final 3 well we are in the final no super super credible. Of course were going to beat you is a piece of pure no
