520 |a This study provides an analysis of al-Shabaab’s secret- and intelligence service, the Amniyat. It begins with the short history of the organization to explain the roots of the movement, and how its resurgence is connected to the efficient management of the Amniyat. Then it analyzes the capacities and capabilities of the group’s intelligence apparatus, highlighting the most vital elements that have made it more effective. Scrutinizing the security sector is of great importance, since analyzing the activities of the Amniyat may help us understand the conflict dynamics in the country. The article contends that al-Shabaab’s intelligence agency is one of the key instruments in enforcing leadership mandate and silencing dissent, especially responding to divergences. The infiltration of al-Shabaab operatives into Somali government institutions poses significant challenges to the country. Simultaneously the capabilities and capacities of the Amniyat, including information-gathering, counter-intelligence activities, liquidations and assassinations continue to disrupt government efforts. While coordinated counter-terrorism practices and rehabilitation programs for al-Shabaab defectors may contribute to weakening the organization, it must be emphasized that even if the group could be ultimately defeated, the Amniyat may survive its dissolution and could integrate into various entities or merge into an existing criminal network.
