| Barely twelve days in office and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's administration has come under great attacks in the capital Mogadishu from remnants of Al-Shabaab militants who continue to show their presence despite being ousted from Mogadishu and other major cities in Somalia by Somali and African Union troops. On Thursday 14 people, including four journalists were killed shortly after the evening prayers in Mogadishu after two men walked into a popular restaurant opposite the National Theatre and blew themselves up. Four other journalists were wounded in the Thursday attack. Outgoing Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali however says that the latest terror attacks are signs that the Al-Shabaab had lost its grip and was fighting a losing battle. As a part of boosting the security situation in Mogadishu, African Union has sent Police from Uganda and Nigeria to boost the Somali Police and AU military in the fight against the Al-Shabaab who have been on the back foot in the past year. Security situation in Mogadishu has deteriorated in the past fortnight with the killing of more than 16 people on Thursday evening including four journalists working for state and independent media in lawless Mogadishu.
