PRESS RELEASE
Mogadishu, 16 February 2022 – The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) strongly condemns a series of attacks conducted by Al-Shabaab terrorists’ group in Mogadishu in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The attacks, targeting various security installations and residential areas, resulted in the death of soldiers and a number of civilians, including women.

The African Union remains resolute in supporting Somalia to defeat terrorism which is destructive to economic, cultural, political and social life,” said the Ag. Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (SRCC) for Somalia, Fiona Lortan.
