Gunmen have killed two men and wounded Swedish politician Ann-Margarethe Livh, 64, after firing on their vehicle in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, officials say.
The three were shot as they were returning to Ms Livh’s hotel after she gave a lecture on democracy at the city’s university, witnesses said.
The motive for the attack is still not clear
Livh had been leaving the University of Somalia after giving a lecture when the attack took place.
The Swedish Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday (August 20) “We can confirm that a Swedish woman has been shot.
She is alive and has spoken to the Swedish ambassador. She is at the field hospital of the African Union Mission in Somalia and will be transferred for treatment in Nairobi.” No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
