索马里一名高层情报官员告诉美国之音索马里语言组说，亲伊斯兰国的索马里激进分子人数增多，而且得到来自也门的资金和军事支持。
Abdi Hassan Hussein, the former Director of the Puntland Intelligence Agency (PIA) said when the pro-IS Somali faction was founded in October last year it had about 20-30 men, but has since set up training camps and recruited more fighters. He said the group’s fighters now number between 100-150 fighters.
前邦特兰情报局局长侯赛因说，这个亲伊斯兰国的索马里分支去年10月成立，当时只有大约20到30名成员，随后建立了训练营地，并招募战斗人员。侯赛因说，目前该组织已有100至150名战斗人员。
He said Islamic State has welcomed its Somalia branch and has started delivering supplies through their affiliate faction in Yemen.
侯赛因表示，伊斯兰国对索马里分支表示欢迎，并开始通过在也门的关系为其提供物资。
Hussein said the government and African Union troops can’t win against al-Shabab or IS factions militarily, and urged them to confront the groups ideologically.
侯赛因说，索马里政府和非盟军队不能在军事上战胜青年党或伊斯兰国分支武装，并敦促他们从意识形态上与这些激进组织进行抗衡。
