Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a

Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a (ASWJ) (somali: Ahlu Suna Waljamaaca) é um grupo paramilitar baseado na Somália constituído por sufistas moderados que se opõem aos grupos islamitas radicais como o Al-Shabaab. Lutam para impedir que a sharia estrita e o Wahabismo sejam impostos e defendem as tradições sunitas sufistas locais e geralmente possuem pontos de vista religiosos moderados. ^[1] Durante a guerra civil, a organização trabalhou em cooperação com o senhor da guerra Mohamed Farrah Aidid.^[2]
