NAIROBI (Mareeg)—British government has strongly condemned the suicide attack which killed 21 people including ministers, doctors, and journalists.
Minister for Africa, Baroness Kinnock, expressed shock at the fatal terrorist attack in Mogadishu on Thursday 3 December.
Baroness Kinnock said: “I was very shocked to learn of the terrorist attack at a hotel in Mogadishu today, killing Ministers of the Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and many innocent civilians.
“The British Government utterly condemns this horrific attack. I offer my condolences to the families of all those who have lost loved ones and to those who have been injured,” the minister said.
“I want to assure the Somali people that the UK and our other international partners continue to support the TFG and the Djibouti process that is seeking to achieve peace and stability for the country and its people.” He added.
Speaking in Nairobi, the British High Commissioner, Mr. Rob Macaire, added:
"If anyone needed proof that the insurgents in Somalia are the enemy of ordinary Somalis, this attack shows it very starkly.
The people attacked were Ministers working on social sectors such as Health and Education, journalists who risk great danger to report the news to the Somali people, and future doctors.
The insurgents have targeted people who are working to improve the lives of ordinary Somalis, and all civilised people will be revolted by their actions."
