The Head of Presidential Council Mohamed Menfi called on Wednesday Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to check on his well-being following the recent attack that targeted him, resulting in several deaths and injuries.
During the call, Menfi extended his sincere condolences to the families of the victims and to the Somali people, wishing a swift recovery to the injured. He also reaffirmed Libya’s full solidarity with Somalia in confronting terrorist threats.
He strongly condemned what he described as a “criminal act,” stressing his firm rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism that threaten security and stability and violate international laws.
The attack took place on March 18 and targeted the Somali president’s convoy near the presidential palace in the capital, Mogadishu, amid ongoing military operations by the Somali government against Al-Shabaab, which it classifies as a terrorist group.
