On Sunday night, Mogadishu was shaken by a devastating bombing in the Boondheere district that claimed the lives of five civilians and injured 20 others. This horrific attack, one of the deadliest in recent months, occurred outside Top Coffee, a popular restaurant crowded with young people watching the Euro final match between Spain and England. According to Somali police, the militant group Al-Shabaab orchestrated the attack using a vehicle filled with explosives.
The Incident
The explosion ripped through the area, causing significant damage and spreading panic. Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos and terror as flames and smoke engulfed the restaurant. The explosion primarily damaged vehicles parked outside, and the structural integrity of the restaurant was severely compromised. Photos from the scene depicted the aftermath, with parts of the establishment in ruins and emergency responders tending to the injured.
Eyewitness Accounts
Mohamed Muse Tarsan, a journalist who was at the restaurant before the explosion, recounted the terrifying moments to the BBC Somali Service. "As we were watching the first half of the game, we suddenly heard a loud, terrifying explosion. Moments of panic followed, with everyone trying to find a way to survive," Tarsan said. The restaurant, which has only one entrance, saw patrons scrambling over a two-meter-high wall to escape the inferno. "People were crushing each other to be the first to get out," he added.
Location and Security
Top Coffee is located in a highly secured area of Mogadishu, near key government buildings such as the Presidential Palace, Parliament, and the National Intelligence headquarters. Security checkpoints are stationed on all roads leading to the area, highlighting the boldness of the attack. The main damage occurred in the section of the restaurant adjacent to the main road, where numerous vehicles were parked.
Casualties and Response
The exact casualty count remains uncertain, with eyewitnesses suggesting the numbers might be higher than initially reported. The injured are receiving treatment at hospitals in Mogadishu. Despite no official claim of responsibility, authorities strongly suspect Al-Shabaab, a group known for targeting government and civilian sites in an attempt to overthrow Somalia's internationally-backed federal government.
Context and Continuing Threats
This bombing is part of a broader pattern of violence perpetrated by Al-Shabaab, who frequently carry out attacks in Somalia. The Somali government has been conducting an offensive against the militant group, attempting to reclaim territories and reduce their operational capabilities. This latest attack underscores the persistent threat posed by Al-Shabaab and the ongoing struggle for stability in Somalia.
The bombing in Mogadishu's Boondheere district is a stark reminder of the volatile security situation in Somalia. As the country continues to combat terrorism, the international community must remain vigilant and support efforts to bring peace and stability to the region.
