Somalia: Twin bomb blasts rocked Mogadishu and Middle Shabelle region

Twin bomb blasts rocked Mogadishu and the Middle Shabelle region of Somalia yesterday. As per police reports, at least six people lost their lives and 10 others were injured in the deadly explosions. The blasts occurred in two separate locations: one near the National Theatre in Mogadishu, about a kilometre from the president’s office, and another in a livestock market in Jowhar city. It was not immediately clear who had carried out the attacks. Earlier, Somalia’s Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre, during his address to the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, condemned Ethiopia’s attempts to annex parts of Somalia and urged international support to uphold his country’s sovereignty.
