In the Somali capital outside of a hotel where Turkish delegates were preparing for the visit of their president, a car bomb exploded. During the attack three people were killed, including security officers. None of the Turkish people in the hotel were hurt in the blast. Al-Qaeda linked militants often carry out these attacks in Mogadish. This will be president Recep Tayyip erdogans second visit to Somalia. He first visited as the prime minister of turkey in 2011. Since then they have helped somalias government rebuild roads and schools. Because of the presidents visit there is extra right security in Mogadishu. An eyewitness says that he saw a vehicle "speeding along the main road and the driver turned into the Hotek SYL gate." They saw a "huge explosion, and smoke". They say that the presidents visit will still go as planned. Due to the Islamists group losing control of the capital in 2011, security has improved in the cities. But why are the staged suicide attacks still occurring?
