Al Shabaab has set very unrealistic terms for the release of the French hostage. Things don't look promising for him. Bloomberg
Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Somalia’s Islamist al-Shabaab group set new conditions for the release of a French security adviser it has been holding since July.
The adviser and a colleague were abducted on July 14 in the capital, Mogadishu, where al-Shabaab and Hisb-ul-Islam in May began an offensive to seize control from forces loyal to President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed.[...]
Al-Shabaab today demanded that France end its military and political support for Somalia’s transitional government and withdraw all its security advisers from the country and its ships from Somali waters, according to a statement by the group released in the capital, Mogadishu. It also demanded the withdrawal of all peacekeeping forces from the African Union Mission in Somalia, known as Amisom.
