Using intimidation and violence, Somalia-based Islamist militant group al-Shabab raises as much revenue as the country's authorities, a report says. The militants collect at least $15m (£11m) a month, with more than half the amount coming from the capital, Mogadishu, the Hiraal Institute said.

The group controls much of southern and central Somalia but has been able to extend its influence into areas controlled by the government based in Mogadishu. The report describes as "brutal" the way the...
