So im terry martin good to have you with us authorities in the somali capital mogadishu say at least 70 people have been killed by a car bomb explosion hit during morning rush hour at a busy security checkpoint is the most deadly attack to rock the small the capital in yours. It was. Survivors of a massive truck bomb explosion being ferried to hospital out of all the attacks the capital suffered in 2019. This is the worst. Ive felt miserable here all the beauty of it knocked me to the ground with its force ive never seen such an explosion in my entire life william that i hoped it would make the most of that but its of the blast took place as i was getting off a minibus. Bus and i was on my way to work so i could see my leg was injured. The tangled wreckage on saturday morning the people of mogadishu were gearing up for the new working week when the bombers struck. A truck loaded with explosives was detonated at a busy control checkpoint the explosion led to many deaths and injuries. That i was sure that most of us most of those who died here were students who were going to school or university. Here john. But in the middle of it a bus ferrying students to classes and lectures. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack yet but scenes like this of quickly familiar on the streets of the capital the un backed government in mogadishu is struggling to take control of the country the militant Islamist Group alshabaab has carried out deadly attacks here in the past now once again the people of this city are mourning their dead. And joining me on the line now is the smaller journalist abdul aziz below abdul aziz what more can you tell us about this devastating attack. Well as it has been clearly mentioned in the report today the fusty of the week in mogadishu and as expected the bulk of the junction none of the 6 control is a part of the security because its the last checkpoint before and she and exits to mogadishu thats where Security Forces put on the tough measures they have to contain the attacks from and cheering at the capital city of mogadishu so at any given time theres a pile of being checked they have a particular tick boxes before being allowed inside and this is one of the reasons why these attacks cost such a huge a casualty figure because it calculated checkpoint on the out because the mogadishu. Killed more than 20 given to students who are in one minivan as well as other this small School Going Children as well as members of the security called very quickly as were headed to have moved into and out of mogadishu among the dead also include 2 turkish nationals a genius who were walking on a strategic road buckling movie to shoot and of who also confirmed dead by the ministry of Foreign Affairs of somalia is there any indication of who carried out this attack. Well the biggest concern right now under this part of the last comment from the militant Group Alshabaab the government of somalia is already pointing fingers and the president of somalia mammadov the life of much of his Prime Minister a lot of the male population. Mohammed said there clearly is an ounce of attack aimed at devastating and causing massive figure to the somali public this a lot of president was quite clear in an address to the nation that was appointed ideology came to somalia to destroy somalia and to destroy the people of the mind of the somali public come together in this fight ok abilities a small it has been battling an Islamist Insurgency with International Support for years what does todays attack tell us about how that battle is progressing well thats an important question because. Next year the Somali Government is going to have a general elections and this is one of the key pillars that the Current Administration will try to use to be able to come back to power again because its been 4 years under. Some forces what the coaches amount to under the current government has been in place almost 3 years now so this doesnt look good on the ground to write a case about from the ground and this is one thing that the opposition will make of the trying to talk on the thing that the government of somalia is focused more on politics rather than security because the issue of time traveling the country and leave the country is not stable that there will be no political environment so how this plays out in the next general election as times out of a clearly abdulaziz below the talking to us on the line the smaller journalist thank you very much.
