It was supposed to be a night of relaxation and joy. A normal Friday evening at Leo Beach in Mogadishu saw hundreds of people gathered, celebrating the weekend. Little did they know, it would turn into a night of horror. As one attacker detonated a suicide bomb, others opened fire on the crowd, resulting in a tragic bloodbath. Dozens lost their lives, and scores were injured. The armed group al-Shabab has claimed responsibility, marking this as the worst attack in Somalia's capital in over a year.
Even as the oppressive summer heat of North Carolina熊熊燃烧, thousands flocked to a Wednesday afternoon rally, eager to catch a glimpse of President Donald Trump. Lines stretched for hours as enthusiasts clamored to secure a spot inside the packed stadium, capacity 8,500. "He's a great man, a good man," exclaimed one attendee, summing up the sentiment that drew them all there.
