Although there is no question that several hundred foreigners now fight within or alongside Al-Shabaab units and provide advice and technical expertise at various levels within the organization, they do not appear to have made a decisive contribution to any single engagement in recent months, nor to the overall course of the conflict.
S &apos; il est indéniable que plusieurs centaines d &apos; étrangers se battent aux côtés d &apos; Al-Shabaab et offrent conseils et services techniques à divers niveaux de l &apos; organisation, il ne semble cependant pas qu &apos; ils aient contribué de manière décisive au moindre affrontement ces derniers mois ni influencé le déroulement du conflit.
