Mogadishu, 15 July 2016 (Villa Somalia)—- The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, HE Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, extended condolences to the President of the Republic of France, François N. Hollande, following the brutal terrorist attack in Nice.
“On behalf of the Somali Federal Republic and the people of Somalia, we join the world in condemning the brutal attack of civilians in Nice. We grieve with those who have lost loved ones. We pray for the families affected. Our thoughts are with the French government as it seeks to provide support to its people’’.
“The terrorist have once again murdered more than innocent people last night. They do not have any good intention other than wreaking havoc and destruction across the world. We condemn these barbaric acts of terrorism. Somalia stands by to offer any support needed,†the President said.
