Somalia: Muslims murder at least six people in jihad suicide bombing outside mosque
Mainstream analysts routinely point to the killing of fellow Muslims by Islamic jihadis as proof that the jihadis aren’t actually Muslims at all, but have twisted and hijacked the religion of peace and are making war against true Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Somalia: Some imams preach that Muslims are ‘immune to coronavirus’
This idea is based on the assumption that adherence to Sharia will bring one success and prosperity in this world as well as the next. That also leads to jihad activity, since jihad warfare against unbelievers is likewise a Sharia tenet. “Muslims ‘immune to coronavirus’ some imams in Somalia say, putting public at risk,” by […]

Kenya now has concerns about an outbreak of the coronavirus, despite having stuck to lockdown rules.

Somalia: Jihadis murder immigration official in Puntland, Puntland President calls for “dialogue” with jihadis
