Somalia has a new militia faction that is about the only group in the country to go against al-Shabab and win.
The Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama – followers of Sufism or mystical Islam – are mostly volunteering students who say they have no political ambitions beyond expelling al-Shabab from the capital, one district at a time.
