Aweys, leader of the Hezbul Islam (Islamic Party), with more than 17 battle wagons has crossed into Hiran region in an attempt to escape from proposed peacekeepers’ military crackdown against the rebels according to Sheikh Muse Arale, the spokesman of Hizbul Islam.

“Our Sheikh does not want to be harmed by the enemy (Christain forces) and he fled to Hiran region where the governor who recently joined the Mujahidiin forces Sheikh Abdirahman Moów welcomed him” Sheikh Arale told two local reporters in a brief press conference which he later asked not to air.

“If God wills the so-called AMISOM Christians will be defeated” he added.

Arale says he may join into Alshabaab soon after some of his soldiers defected to the government.

“Some dishonest soldiers left us but I’m thinking about my next work which may become to join in Alshabaab Mujahidiin” He added.

Sheikh Aweys recently defended tactics such as firing mortars from areas populated by civilians, saying "The Mujahid (holy warrior) is like a fish ... the population is his water." Aweys added, "The population acts like a shield and we operate out of them." He also defended suicide attacks, calling them part of the resistance.

Since returning from exile in May, Aweys, a former Somali army colonel, is credited with building Hizbul Islam into a powerful force that, together with the Islamist militant group al-Shabab, has taken control of many parts of southern Somalia, including much of the capital of Mogadishu.

The militants are trying to overthrow Somalia's moderate Islamic government and replace it with a regime that will impose strict Islamic Sharia law.
