The statement said students was queueing outside the Ministry of Higher Education when the blast occurred, waiting for the results of scholarships offered by Turkey.
Turkey on Tuesday condemned a suicide bomb attack on a government compound in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, that killed scores.
“We severely condemn this heinous attack that targeted innocent children and their families. We send our condolences to the families of the victims and our wishes of swift recovery for the wounded,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a press statement.
The statement said students was queueing outside the Ministry of Higher Education when the blast occurred, waiting for the results of scholarships offered by Turkey.
“The incident causes even more concern that the attack took place at a time when a road map had been agreed upon to secure an end to the transition period in Somalia and steps were taken for a national political accord,” the statement said.
