    Firstly, I express my gratitude to the African Transition mission in Somalia (ATMIS), particularly to our Neighbour from Kenya, who have been actively involved in maintaining peace and combating Al-Shabaab terrorist in Jubbaland. Their sacrifices, including the loss of many Kenyan soldiers, are acknowledged and appreciated, after that as he said this journalist it's not good to say "we're inside of the territory of enemy" yes AS terrorists they are enemy but they're not belong to the territory of🇸🇴.
    After that this attack was amongst two of my uncle they were among Somali national army one of them was injured but now still they're a live alhamdulillah.
