The US has suspended all assistance to the government of Somalia, alleging, without evidence, that officials destroyed a UN World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse and seized “donor-funded food aid”.
US state department made the statement via the social media.
The Somali government has long been battling al-Qaeda-linked Islamist militants as it tries to rebuild the country after a devastating civil war and years of drought.
