Mogadishu Terrorist Attacks

16 October 2017

The senseless slaughter in Somalia is an attack on all of humanity. We grieve for the families of the victims and the Somali people.
And our thoughts are with the Somali community in Australia as they deal with the grief and suffering of their families and friends in Mogadishu.
With a death toll approaching 300, appalling injuries inflicted on many more and the destruction of a large area of the Mogadishu CBD, this attack reminds us of the brutal and indiscriminate nature of terrorism.
It is important that the international community acts together to defeat international terrorist groups and to support the Somali people.
