Somalia: Blast in Galka’yo kills Dozens Included Military Officers.

Saturday, December 19, 2020. Reports from Galkayo the capital of Mudug region say that a suicide bomber blew himself up at the residence of the prime minister of Somalia Mohamed Hussein Roble. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a football stadium in Galkayo, the capital of Galmudug state.

Preliminary reports of casualties in the blast say that civilians and military officers, including Danab's deputy commander in Marsho, were seriously injured, and the commander of the 21st Division, General Qooje, and other officers were killed. The dead also include former Galkayo District Commissioner Mohamud Yassin Tumey and the death toll has risen so far.

The bombings come at a time of deteriorating security, disputed election commissions and the president's preoccupation with foreign policy. It is feared that the explosions will increase, and security will deteriorate. The government has not yet come up with a plan to stop extremist groups from killing civilians in Somalia, but it is busy cutting ties with neighbor countries.

The death toll from the blast is reported to be more than 30 people, including military officers, various officials as well as civilians who went to the airport to welcome Prime Minister Roble.

The Commander of the Somali National Army, General Odowa Yusuf Rage, speaking to state-run media, confirmed the deaths of the officers and offered his condolences to the Somali National Army and the general public for the deaths of the officers and civilians.

Meanwhile, Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble spoke about the suicide bombing that took place today at the Abdullahi Isse International Airport in Galkayo, where he was being welcomed.

The blast was claimed by al-Shabab, which said in a statement that the blast was carried out by a suicide bomber who targeted Prime Minister Roble. Roble issued a statement sending his deepest condolences to the families and the people of Somalia for the loss of national officials and civilians who were martyred in this afternoon's terrorist attack in Galkayo.

"I pray to God to shower His mercy on all of them and to give patience and faith to the relatives and the Somali people who have left," he said.
