Somalia’s new president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was unharmed after two blasts rocked the Mogadishu hotel where he was meeting a Kenyan minister Wednesday, the African Union mission to Somalia said.

“There has been a blast around the hotel where the president was. The president is safe. All the people who were inside the hotel are safe,” Colonel Ali Houmed, a spokesman for the force, told AFP.
