The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On August 2nd, Somalian Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre appointed the former deputy leader and co-founder of the Islamist militant group al- Shabab as the new minister of religious affairs. Mukhtar Robow, also known as Abu Mansour, co-founded al-Shabab. Al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for many bombings and suicide attacks. They typically target government officials, African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), and perceived allies of the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS). Robow's affiliation with Al-Shabab stirred a discussion on whether it will strengthen the fight against an insurgency or provoke clan clashes. Apparently, his selection is an attempt to pit him against his former group. His cabinet post will put him in charge of the ideological confrontation against al-Shabab, and challenge their dominance and legitimacy in many regions in Somalia. The political analyst Mohamed Mohamud said, "We welcome his appointment. The move will advance reconciliation and serve as a good example for more high-level al-Shabab defections.”
