🧵Among the more farcical figures paraded as “dissidents” against Ḥarakat al-Shabāb is Abū Khaybar "as-Ṣūmālī", a nom de guerre that collapses the moment you learn he is, in fact, Sudanese. His career reads less like principled dissent and more like ideological musical chairs: drifting from AS, to AQAP to Dawla, and then to nothing, before being arrested by the Emiratis. It seems he travelled wherever the wind (or relevance) happened to blow.
