Algeria unequivocally condemns the terrorist attack that targeted the convoy of the President of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in Mogadishu, reiterating its full support for Somalia in its fight against the scourge of terrorism, according to AL24 News.
The Somali Information Ministry said President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s convoy was attacked at approximately 10.32 a.m. (0732 GMT) in the Xamar-Jajab district in Mogadishu.
It said, “The attack was thwarted, and the President safely arrived at his destination as planned”.
The ministry added that the “cowardly act which resulted in the death and injury of innocent civilians” is a testament to the group’s growing desperation as “they suffer continuous defeats at the hands of the Somali National Army.”
A communiqué from the Ministry of Foreign, National Community Abroad, and African Affairs released on 19th March “Drawing from its painful experience with the horrors of indiscriminate terrorism and fully aware of its subversive intentions.
It continued, “Algeria reaffirms its complete solidarity and unwavering commitment alongside Somalia, a brotherly nation, in its efforts to eradicate this threat and enhance the security and stability of the country”
