Saudi Arabia Strongly Condemns Terrorist Attack in Mogadishu
In a powerful statement, Saudi Arabia expressed its condemnation and outrage over the recent terrorist attack in the Somali capital of Mogadishu, which resulted in the tragic loss of 37 lives and left many others injured.
The attack, carried out by an Al-Shabaab suicide bomber and gunmen at a bustling beach in Mogadishu, marks one of the deadliest incidents in the East African nation in recent months.
For over 17 years, the Al-Qaeda-linked extremists have been engaged in a violent insurgency against the internationally recognized federal government, with previous attacks targeting the popular Lido beach area frequented by business people and government officials.
In a firm stance against violence and extremism, the Saudi foreign ministry emphasized the Kingdom’s rejection of such heinous acts that target innocent civilians.
Offering unwavering support to the government and people of Somalia, Saudi Arabia extended heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wished a swift recovery to those injured in the tragic incident.
