What is Al Shahab?. If what you mean is Al Shabaab, can you prove your words there that Gulf Countries continuously supporting Al Shabaab?
Al Shabab is a terrorist group that spinned off from the Moderate Islamic courts union. Al shabab left the Islamic courts union because they found them too moderate. Ethiopian invasion left Somalia weakened which allowed al shabab to rise up and take chunks of Somalia while at the same time separatism led to puntland and somaliland breaking off from Mogadishu.
Now what you have is a recipe ofr disaster with terrorism, separatism, corruption, poverty, famine along with tribalism.
Somalia was left alone when nobody would bother to do anything this where Turkey came and tried to alleviate their pain the footage of the famines wrecking havoc made a lot of Turks distressed that they even called upon other Muslim countries to come together to help which felt on deaf ears.
Not just humanity interests but also political and historical interests lie in Somalia. We were allies with the various Somali sultanates even sent weapons and soldiers to help the Adal Sultanate against the Ethiopians and Portuguese.
Somalis especially were grateful for our help this in turn gave the Turks are foothold in the region.
Al Shabab bastards dont like this like the pkk they target our workers and teachers. Turkish intelligence in conjunction with the Somali intelligence have uncovered that Al Shabab has been getting funding especially indirect means by the UAE.
Uae also wanted Somalia to be against Qatar and kick the Turks out. Somalia said no and will stay neutral especially with the gulf dispute so now Uae is supporting al shabab and is backing separatism by supporting and recognising Somalialand in a bid to pursue its interests in making chaos in the Islamic World and to punish Somalia for not playing by the Emirates game.
