Mogadishu, Somalia – A powerful blast ripped through a popular cafe in the centre of the Somali capital Mogadishu late Sunday, an AFP journalist said, with local media reporting the venue was packed with football fans watching the final of the Euro 2024 tournament.
Images posted online showed a huge fireball and plumes of smoke billowing into the night sky over the city. But on Saturday, five inmates said to be Al-Shabaab fighters were killed in a shootout with prison guards in an attempted jail break from the main prison in Mogadishu. But the offensive has suffered setbacks, with Al-Shabaab earlier this year claiming it had taken multiple locations in the centre of the country.
Somalia last month called for the African Union to slow the planned withdrawal of its forces from the troubled country.
