Kismaayo: Bar-kulan- Drivers in Kismayo town are complaining of the fee Al-shabab militia group is illegally collecting from the road users.

Al-shabab most senior official in Kismayo, Hassan Yakub, announced that the money collected from the road users will be used to finance their war with the government and African Union Peacekeepers.
