The 30 -hour "Youth Party" attacked the Somali Capital Hotel, which has killed 21 people

The armed personnel of the Somali Security Forces and the "Youth Party" of the country's extreme organization "Youth Party" ended at the fierce battle at a hotel in Somalia's capital Mogada. This extreme organization attacked the hotel the night before and hijacked multiple hostages.

Somali government departments said on the 21st that the attack had caused at least 21 deaths and more than 100 injuries.

30 hours of fierce battle

A commander of the Somali Security Forces told AFP on the 20th night: "The Security Force has ended (for the hotel), and several gunmen have died. There have been no guns in the hotel in the past hour."

Officials from Somali Health Department said on the 21st that it has confirmed that the attack has died at least 21 and 117 injuries.

The "Youth Party" armed personnel detonated two car bombs on the evening of the 19th, and then broke into the Hatte Hotel and hijacked hostages. In order to prevent the security forces from rescue the hostages, the armed personnel bombed the hotel stairs. The two sides lasted for 30 hours, and members of the security forces launched a fierce attack, and the hotel was controlled by most of the hotels the next night.

Several witnesses said that they saw on the top of other buildings that when the two parties were on fire, the hotel was shining on the hotel, and the sound of intensive explosions and gunfire could be heard.

Tibetan toilet was rescued

The US International Terrorist Organization Search Intelligence Group said that the "Youth Party" claimed to hijack multiple hostages during the interchange between armed personnel and Somali security forces. A senior official of the Somali security department said 106 hostages have been rescued, including women and children.

Local resident Hyate Ali told Agence France -Presse reporters that the members of the security forces found three children in the hotel toilet at the age of 4 to 7. They hid in the toilet in horror and then reunited with their families.

Another survivor Hussein Ali said that when the first bomb was detonated, he and his colleagues worshiped in a broad area in the hotel. "I tried to run near a nearby exit from the gunman." He said, "The gunman started shooting, and I could hear the sound of the gun behind me ... Fortunately, we finally escaped."

The Hatt Hotel is located in the city of Mogadi, and the Somali government officials and members often stay there. Due to the continuous fierce battle between the security forces and the armed personnel, the hotel was severely damaged.

International organization condemnation

After the incident, the United Nations and African Union Specials condemned the attack.

Flhan Hak, deputy spokesperson of the United Nations Secretary -General, said that Secretary -General Antonio Gutres "strongly condemn" the "terrorist attack" at the hotel at the Hotel occurred by the United Nations and the Somali government and the people. Back terrorism and maintain peace.

The non -alliance in the Somali transitional group also "strongly condemned" and "youth party" attacked the Hatt Hotel and condolences to the family members of the victims.

The "Youth Party" is favorable to the "base" organization and seek overthrowing the Somali government. In 2011, the Non -League of Weight and the Force drove the "Youth Party" armed personnel out of Mogadisa, but this extreme organization still controlled the major regions of Somali rural areas and frequently launched an attack around Mogidisha and neighbor Kenya.

Hassan Shech Mahamid was elected President Somali in May. The Halut Hotel was the most serious attack on Somali since Mahamist was elected. According to Agence France -Presse reporters, the Somali government still faces huge challenges in combating terrorism and maintaining stability.
