So, I think three months ago it started - the beginning of the end of Shabab,” said Mogadishu Mayor Mohamed Ahmed Noor. 摩加迪沙市市长穆罕默德·努尔说：“政府军和非洲联盟特派团(AMISON)奋力激战，打败了青年党，青年党武装份子最终撤出。所以，我认为，三个月前，就是青年党终结的开始。” Noor adds that government forces will continue to pursue militants in other parts of Somalia. 努尔说，政府军将继续追击索马里其它地区的武装份子。 An al-Shabab spokesman said the group began leaving its positions in Mogadishu late Friday but he called it a strategic move and said al-Shabab was holding its positions outside the capital. 青年党的一名发言人称，该组织星期五晚间撤离了在摩加迪沙的大本营，但是他将此称为战略行动，并且说，青年党保有首都以外的据点。 Al-Shabab has been fighting to overthrow Somalias government for the past several years and controls large areas of Somalia, including those that are worst-affected by drought and famine. 过去几年来青年党一直在发动战斗，想要推翻索马里政府，并且控制着索马里大片地区，包括那些受干旱和饥荒影响最严重的地区。 Somali Prime Minister Abidweli Mohamed Ali said in a statement Saturday that the al-Shabab insurgency is a “fundamental cause of the famine.” 索马里总理阿卜迪韦利·穆罕默德·阿里星期六在一项声明中称，反政府武装组织青年党是造成此次“饥荒的根本原因。” The group has tightly controlled the delivery of aid to famine victims and has banned access for many Western aid agencies altogether. 该组织紧紧控制着饥荒灾民援助物资的运送，并禁止许多西方援助机构入境。 The government has said the group also posed a threat to internally displaced people who had fled to Mogadishu. 索
