18/01/2016 (Agence Europe) - Condemnation by EU of terrorist attack on AMISOM. In the evening of Friday 15 January, the EU firmly condemned the lethal attack by Al-Shabaab against an African Union base in southern Somalia and expressed its condolences to the Somali and Kenyan victims and their families. The attack “is another attempt to undermine a political process towards a stable and secure Somalia”, said the spokesperson of EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini. The EU is a staunch supporter of AMISOM and the Somali security forces and “will continue working with the Somali authorities, the African Union and other partners to enhance stability and Somalia's capacity to fight terrorism”.
