Minister Hashi was a strong partner in the process of rebuilding Somalia, particularly through his tireless his efforts to reconstruct the TFG’s security forces. We offer our deepest condolences to his family and his colleagues.


This deplorable attack is another example of the cowardly acts undertaken by those who oppose the efforts to achieve peace in Somalia.

This act also underscores the vital need for continued international support of the TFG. The United States will continue to provide strong support to the TFG and to all Somalis wishing for peace and reconciliation.
