Statement from the British Ambassador to Somalia Matt Baugh, on the killing of Mustaf Mohamud Ali MP

"On behalf of the British Government I wish to express my deep condolences to the family of Mustaf Mohamud Ali MP, and to the Somali people, following his murder in Mogadishu earlier today.

"This is another cowardly act of hatred by killers who reject change, progress and the chance of a more stable future. Their selfish intention is instead to perpetuate a cycle of intimidation and violence.

"Having witnessed Members of the new Parliament electing a new President earlier this month, I reaffirm that the UK stands with them and the Somali people as they continue on their path towards peace, security and democracy."
