02/09/2015 (Agence Europe) - EU condemns Al Shabab attack on AMISOM. On Tuesday 1 September, the EU condemned the attack by Al Shabab the same day on the base of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) in Janaale. “This attack appears to be a response to the successful offensive that AMISOM and the Somali National Army have been undertaking against Al Shabab in Central and Southern Somalia. Such attacks will not deter the Somali and African effort to bring peace to their country”, said the spokesperson for High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini. Offering its condolences to the families of the victims, the EU gives assurances that it will continue “to stand with the Somali people, the African Union [and] AMISOM” to enhance Somalia's stability and capacity to fight terrorism.
