Nairobi 17 September 2009: The European Union,
the InterGovernmental Authority on Development, the League
of Arab States, the United Nations, Norway and the United
States all condemn in the strongest terms today’s cowardly
suicide car bombings on the AMISOM Force Headquarters in Mogadishu.
This horrific attack is a further demonstration
of the extremists’ complete disregard for human lives.
It is not only an attack on the AMISOM peacekeepers, but also
on the ordinary Somali population who they were helping.
Along with the Somali population, the international
community pledge that we will not be deterred by such criminal
acts and will continue all our efforts to ensure the return
of peace and stability in Somalia. We urge Somalia’s
Transitional Federal Government to likewise continue its work
for peace and reconciliation through the Djibouti Process.
The EU, IGAD, LAS, UN, Norway and the US send
their sincere condolences to the family and friends of the
victims of this appalling suicide bombing, as well as to the
Government and the people of Somalia.
