Somalia’s new President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has vowed an all-out war against militant group al-Shabab.
This comes days after the militants staged a deadly attack on a hotel in the capital, Mogadishu, killing 21 people and leaving more than 100 injured.
In his first address to the nation since Friday night’s attack, President Mohamud promised to crush the al-Qaeda-linked group.
He said his priority is ending the 15-year insurgency.
Security forces eventually ended the siege at the Hayat Hotel, a popular spot for government officials, after 30 hours.
The attack was the first in the capital by the group since the president was elected by MPs in May.
