It does not come off as a a surprise that Mogadishu, capital of Somalia, have been going through attacks due to the growing conflict that began in 2011. Mogadishu just went through a bomb explosion this past Saturday causing 5 deaths and 6 wounded according to a police official. It is because of the Shabab, an Islamic terrorist group that have resorted to attacks in Mogadishu since the Somali government pushing African Union troops from the city in 2011. The attack that just occurred was meant for a top police officer, Abdikafi Hilowle,who was one of the 5 that were killed. Somalia is having a hard time to rebuild after years of conflict. It seems that there will only be more attacks to come if someone does not step in and help Somalia from the Shabab terrorist group. If the conflict between the African Union troops and Somalia began back in 2011 there should be some aid to protect the people of Somalia knowing that they are struggling.
