| Diarra:Condemned killings |
By DNK Correspondent in Mogadishu
The Special Representative of the Chairperson of the
African Union Commission for Somalia, Ambassador Boubacar Diarra, has condemned
the assassination of newly elected MP Mustafa Mohamed Mo’alin in Mogadishu.
Mustafa Mohamed Mo’alin was killed in the Waaberi
District of Mogadishu as he returned home from prayers on Saturday evening.
“Members of Parliament represent the voice of the
Somali people and any attack on parliamentarians is an attack on the people and
it is unacceptable. I deplore this attack on a Somali Member of Parliament
elected just weeks ago as part of Somalia’s continuing journey of political
progress. We offer our sincere condolences to his family. Such criminal and
barbaric acts must not be tolerated.” Said ambassador Diarra.
Ambassador Diarra said AMISOM will continue to do all
it can to help the Somali security forces to reduce the threat of attacks in
Mogadishu. He said through successfully ending the transitional period, Somalia
and the Somali people have embarked on a new political beginning. Cowardly
attacks such as this will not be allowed to derail that hard won progress.
