“I condemn this reprehensible attack on the AMISOM base camp in Mogadishu which also hosts the UN Headquarters for Somalia. I commend AMISOM for their quick response and salute their bravery in bringing the situation under control. All UN staff are safe and sound. Our resolve to support the Somali people remains strong as we work together to build a peaceful Somalia.” SRSG Kay said.
