The United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia has strongly condemned the recent suicide bombing attack at a hotel in Mogadishu, the responsibility of which was claimed by Al-Shabaab.
The coordinated attack reportedly killed dozens of Somali citizens and soldiers at the Dayah hotel, located near the Presidential palace.
In an interview with a news agency, Joseph Contreras, the spokesperson for the Mission, said the attack provides fresh evidence of the violent extremists’ desperate attempts to derail Somalia’s electoral process.
