The Raskamboni Movement (alt. Raskamboni Front) is a paramilitary group active in southern Somalia. It is led by Sheikh Ahmed Madobe. Raskamboni's members are opposed to the radical Islamist group Al-Shabaab. ==History== The group has been involved in numerous armed clashes with al-Shabab militiamen. The Raskamboni engaged al-Shabab militiamen on March 13, 2011 in the village of Dif. The movement claimed to have destroyed a number of Al-Shabaab military vehicles in the fighting,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shabelle Media Network : Shabakada Warbaahinta Shabelle )〕 which left at least five dead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Somalia: Fighting Rocks Parts of Jubba Region in Southern Region )〕 On April 3, 2011, the Raskamboni movement, in conjunction with Transitional Federal Government forces and the Kenyan Air Force, captured the border town Dhobley from Al-Shabab.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Government Forces Capture Dhobley Town )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Somali govt confiscates Dhobley after days of fighting )〕 In July 2012, it was reported that they staged a rescue operation to free four kidnapped aid workers from the Norwegian Refugee Council. In September 2012, a reconstituted Somali National Army assisted by AMISOM troops and Raskamboni militia reportedly re-captured Kismayo from Al-Shabaab insurgents during the Battle of Kismayo (2012). In February 2014, Al-Shabaab militants launched a string of attacks in Kismayo targeting Raskamboni members, including an IED that tore through a vehicle carrying the group's members and killed several civilians.〔Keydmedia: (Somalia: Kismayo residents fear new clan fighting )〕 On 19 February, Raskamboni militants began an intensive search operation in the city after the group's security chief, Isse Kamboni, was shot dead by one of his bodyguards, a former Al-Shabaab member. According to eye-witnesses, Raskamboni subsequently started hunting down Al-Shabaab suspects. Many Raskomboni fighters were seen patrolling the streets, and more than 150 civilians were detained at the local police stations in connection with Isse's assassination. Seven civilian deaths were also reported during the clampdown with some accusing the militia of using the clampdown as an excuse to stifle dissent.〔Keydmedia: (Ras Kamboni, tribal militias begin launching retaliation attacks on civilians in Kismayo )〕 Hundreds of elders and businessmen had earlier fled the city.〔Keydmedia: (Somalia: Killings, Criminal acts are becoming more widespread in Kismayo )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raskamboni Movement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
