Somali Federal government officials including President, Prime Minister and Parliament Speaker denounced the barbaric attack on the high profile diplomat from Somali Embassy in Kenya Siyad Mohamud Shire by Kenyan police and called government in Kenya to give more clarification and clear answer about the incident.
Federal government officials have similarly expressed their deep concern on the mass arrests and cruel crackdown where more than thousands of Somali ethnic community including Somali refugees, Kenyan Somali nationals, and others seeking asylum have been rounded up and were in an impossible condition after Kenyan police forces indiscriminately arrested, tortured and forcefully deported in a brutal crackdown.
