President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia received a phone call from President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), who expressed concern for his well-being following Tuesday’s assassination attempt on his convoy.
During the call, President Sheikh Mohamed reiterated the UAE’s firm stance against terrorism and extended his best wishes for President Mohamud’s safety as the Somali leader continues leading the military in fighting Al-Shabaab and ISIS.
This gesture highlights the UAE’s solidarity with Somalia in the face of security challenges and underscores the importance of international cooperation in combating terrorism, which has afflicted the East African nation for decades.
