That said President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on Sunday during a visit to the attack site in the capital Mogadishu. Two cars loaded with explosives exploded in quick succession in front of the Ministry of Education on Saturday.
Two cars loaded with explosives were detonated in quick succession near the busy Zobe interchange on Saturday in an attack on the Ministry of Education. Shots were also fired. The windows of nearby buildings were shattered by the blast and splinters flew through the air.
A truckload of explosives exploded at the Zobe interchange in October 2017. At that time, 512 people died and more than 290 were injured.
It’s “the same place and the same innocent people” that are being drawn in, Mohamud explained. “This is not correct. God willing, they can’t commit another Zobe incident.” He referred to the extremist Islamist Shebab militia.
The Shebab militia, affiliated with the al-Qaeda terrorist network, has been fighting the Somali government, which is supported by the international community, since 2007. Their fighters were driven from the country’s major cities, but they continue to dominate the vast rural areas of the East African country.
