“We join with all the Somali Australians in condemning the
senseless, barbaric and shocking deadly attack that killed 276 and
injured more than 300 Somali civilians in Mogadishu, Saturday, 14
October 2017.
“There is no place in the world for such cowardly violence.”
“These barbaric actions have cost an innocent people their life.
This is unacceptable. Our thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with
the families who lost their loved ones.”
“We wish to express our gratitude to the Somali Federal
Government for their brave work, particularly Mr. Thabit Abdi, the
Mayor of Mogadishu.”
“Somali Community in Australian deeply rejects all forms of
violence and extremism. We will continue to work hard and
contribute where we can to ensure acts of this nature are not
repeated.”
Somali Community in Australia are also organizing a fundraising
event for the families of the victims who were killed in the twin
bomb blasts in Mogadishu.
