Mogadishu, 26 May 2013 – The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud strongly condemns the recent attacks in Garisa, near the border of Somalia on Saturday night where Gunmen have killed five people including two police officers.
Al-Shabaab claimed the responsibility of these attacks which shows that they are still alive and ready to kill innocent people by the name of Islam.
The President of Somalia said “I must express my horror and outright condemnation of the killing of 5 people including two police officers in Garisa near the border of Somalia. These perpetrators, murderers claim to do this in the name of Islam is simply wrong. They have violated the doctrine of our Quran and I stand together with all Muslim brothers in our determination to distance our genuine faith from those who preach extremism and hatred. And we must stand together in the global community to defeat this madness. “
The President sends his condolences to the people and the President of Kenya and more importantly to those families and friends who have lost their loved ones.
Somalia’s Islamist Al-Shebaab insurgents continue to what they are good at which is to kill civilians in order to show their presence. We must continue our struggle to eliminate them from not only in Somalia but throughout the world. We are ever grateful for the sacrifices of our brothers and sisters in AMISOM contributing countries and Ethiopia, which reduced the threat from Al-Shabaab. Al-Shabaab wants to destabilize the region and we must continue our collective efforts to wipe them out from the region and beyond. This is a global threat which needs a global solution.
