FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Analysts say the departure of al-Shabaab from the capital, combined with the offensives by neighbouring states, has opened a window of opportunity to defeat the hardline militants, although Mogadishu remains prone to almost daily bomb attacks.
“We need to step this up. We are not complacent about it,” Hague said, describing Somalia as “the world’s most failed state”.
“For the security of the UK, it matters a lot for Somalia to become a more stable place,” he said. “Some progress has been made on this, partly because of the progress of the AMISOM force.”
Al-Shabaab struck Uganda in 2010, killing nearly 80 people watching the football World Cup final. The militants have launched a series of grenade and roadside bomb attacks in Kenya since it sent troops into Somalia in October.
Britain has warned it is only a matter of time before Islamist militants trained in Somalia strike on British soil.
“One of the objectives of our conference in London is to strengthen counter-terrorism co-operation to make it easier for countries in this region to disrupt terrorist networks, to disrupt their financing and the movement of potential terrorists,” Hague said.
Hague’s visit came as Kenyan and Somali troops seized two towns in southern Somalia from al-Shabaab in a bid to consolidate control of border areas, a Kenyan military spokesman said, ahead of an eventual push on rebel strongholds.
