ATMIS condemns Alshabab’s hotel attack in Mogadishu

The African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), condemns in the strongest terms the Al shabaab’s attack on Villa Rays Hotel in central Mogadishu, Somalia.

It says the attack indicates that Alshabab has lost it in the battlefields where gallant Somali Security Forces (SSF) continue to exert heavy losses on Al-Shabaab and reclaim large swathes of territories previously controlled by the group.

The African Union transition mission in Somalia also emphasized the need for more decisive action against Alshabab and commended Somali Security Forces who fought hard to protect lives at the Villa Rossa Hotel and extended heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and wished those injured a speedy recovery.
