Al-Shabaab "The Party of Youth" is a group of Somali Islamists. The group controls a large region of southern Somalia. They have imposed a strict interpretation of Islamic law Sharia which has been unpopular with many Somalis. All the refugees and IDPs flee their homes due to the violence imposed on them by the Al-Shabaab. The country does not have a functioning national government for 18 years now.
On Wednesday 18th of November 2009, one of the most extreme cases in Somalia happened. A young woman was stoned to death in front of at least 200 people of audience because of the claimed adultary, BBC reported. Her case has been the fourth one in Somalia this past year.
