“I appeal to the Federal Government and to the elders and leaders of the all country to express together, unequivocally, their renewed determination to achieve lasting peace for the sake of their people.  I seize then the opportunity to stress once again the necessity that inter- and intra-clan dialogue is pursued and enhanced, and that every group, within Somali society, takes steps towards deep national reconciliation” ambassador Andrea Mazzella said in his press statement on Thursday.

He said that he was fully convinced that reconciliation and inter-Somali solidarity will finally prevail, for the Somali Nation to leave in peace. 

“In this sad moment allow me then, to express my deepest condolences to the families of those innocents who perished in the attack and my warmest encouragement to the injured ones” Italian ambassador to Somalia Mr. Andrea Mazzella said in his press statement.
