Breaking News: Tensions Rise in Mogadishu as US Embassy Begins Staff Withdrawal.

In a significant move, the U.S. embassy in Mogadishu has begun withdrawing some of its essential staff, as reported by diplomatic sources. The situation in the city is becoming increasingly precarious, with Al-Shabaab reportedly encircling Mogadishu and positioning themselves just 6 kilometers away. This terrorist group has recently acquired from Iran and Houthis short- and medium-range missiles capable of reaching up to 40 kilometers, raising concerns about potential threats to both EU and U.S. embassies.

Military intelligence suggests that the local government, led by President Hassan Sh. Mohamud, has struggled to maintain security in the capital. As conditions deteriorate, the critical question arises: Will the EU and UK follow suit and evacuate their personnel as the risks escalate following the recent U.S. terror alert? Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding crisis.
