Somalia President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has survived six assassination attempts by the al-Shabaab terrorist group since he was first elected in 2012, with the latest of which took place in Mogadishu on March 18, 2025.
The President, who was on his way to the airport, said his convoy was targeted by the terrorists, who used improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to prevent him from proceeding on his journey to join Somali troops fighting the militants in Hirshabelle, but they failed.
