(Worthy News) – The United States Embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia, has reopened after being closed for 28 years, officials said Wednesday.
“The reestablishment of Embassy Mogadishu is another step forward in the resumption of regular U.S.-Somali relations, symbolizing the strengthening of U.S.-Somalia relations and advancement of stability, development and peace for Somalia and the region,” the embassy said in a statement.
The embassy closed on Jan. 5, 1991, after Somalia became engulfed in a civil war and the regime of Siad Barre was overthrown. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
