Somalia’s Al-Shabab authority in southern Jubba regions denied on Tuesday that they will carry out aggressions on Kenya.

Sheikh Abdifitah Ibrahim Ali, Al-Shabaab official told the local media that the rebel group will not carry out any attacks against Kenya because their neighbour is not harassing them.

"We are keeping the security of the districts we captured from Hizbul Islam and we will be establishing authorities different from our enemy…..there is no danger facing us from Kenya," said Sheikh Abdifitah

Ali said his group will only keep peace along border between Somalia and Kenya, adding that the early Al-Shabaab warnings against Kenya were ‘just verbal’.

Al-Shabaab authority in Jubba regions has early warned Kenya to withdrawal all its forces along the border.

Al-Shabaab militants captured Lower Jubba region in southern Somalia from Hizbul Islam militias led by Ahmed Madobe, one of the senior officers of Hizbul Islam group.

On the other hand, a spokesman for Kenya government denied reports that some Hizbul Islam officials have been allowed in the country.
