DEADLY ATTACK TARGETS SOMALIA FOOD CONVOY

  • 04/09/2022

After militants attacked several vehicles in Somalia's central Hiiraan region, at least 20 people were killed, including women and children, and food aid was destroyed.

"They planted a bomb in the car and blew it up," the region's governor explained.

Al-Shabab, an Islamist militant group, has stated that it is targeting a government-affiliated armed group.

The militants linked to al-Qaeda want to destabilise the government.

Al-Shabab controls much of southern and central Somalia, but has expanded its influence into areas controlled by the government in Mogadishu.

Its fighters stormed a hotel in the capital two weeks ago, killing more than 20 people.
