Mogadishu (LM) The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, H.E. Amb. Ahmed Moallim Fiqi Ahmed, announced that the Al-Shabaab terrorist group has been significantly weakened due to two consecutive years of sustained military operations by the Somali National Army (SNA).

In his remarks, the Minister prayed for the martyrs, asking Allah to grant them Jannatul Ferdous, and wished a swift recovery for the injured. He underscored the armed forces’ dedication to justice and public safety, calling on all segments of society to provide unwavering support for their mission and sacrifices.
