“The man who is the AUSSOM mission sponsor has been under the radar for a long time, but now it seems that he has not been able to hide himself, we have not been silent about him for a long time, he has become a supporter of Al-Shabaab, he has become a person who is jealous of the development of Somalia,” said Somali Foreign Minister Ahmed Macalin Fiqi.
