The United Nations in Somalia today honored the many Somalis impacted by such violence and urged that they and their families be provided with immediate and long-term support. This was done in observance of the International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism.
James Swan, the UN Secretary-Special General’s Representative for Somalia, states, “the United Nations stands in solidarity with all Somali victims and survivors of terrorism as they heal from their suffering, along with their families and communities.”
