the government says all the attackers have been killed. ah, play. you're watching al jazeera alive from doha with me fully bad. people also coming up a drone reported me his to headquarters of rushes, navy in crimea, in the late attack on their military infrastructure in the annex, reaching brazil, former president luna desilva holds his 1st campaign. ronnie, as he prepares to challenge jane watson arrow in october's election. ah, and thousands gather in south africa to witness the crowning of a usable king after months of challenges to the throne. ah, thank you for joining us hotel. see jean somali as capital mogadishu has ended.

after about 30 hours on friday out, bob gunmen forced their way into the complex, detonating car bombs and taking hostages. at least 30 people have been killed in 40 injured mon advance reports on how the violence unfolded. ah, the hyatt hotel in mogadishu turned into a batch of ground on friday nights. and shrub gunman blasted bill will you to the building with 2 car bumps before seizing control of somebody security forces launched to counter offensive. witnesses say there were several explosions followed by exchanges. of gunfire, but continued for the night and to thought of it. and she, bob has claimed responsibility. these types of attacks have been a hallmark of altima operations a couple years ago in particular layer. and they are very kind of slowed down a little bit. but we see them popping up again. rooted from the scene shows extensive damage to the hotel. several people have been taken to hospital. the

victims reportedly include the children, as well as the hotels owner. so tell us are usually attacked because that's areas where government officials congregate and in. so there's a lot of meetings, a lot of activity, especially right now with the new government coming into into place and setting up a lot of appointments and positions. but there's also often been a secondary element to some of you, you know, bob runs a very extensive extortion racket within morbid issue itself. and they've targeted business owners that haven't complied as well. the group is affiliated to unpaid and has carried numerous attacks in we'll get issue in the past decade. it's a is to establish a system of government in somebody based on shallow hammered 10. what is now speak to somali analysts hold on ali, who joins us live from washington, d. c. thank you very much for being with us on al jazeera. so it took security

forces over 30 hours to end this siege. what does this say to you about how sure bob's capabilities today, and also the somalis government's ability to counter them? well, thank you for having me. as an unfortunate day for me and be smarter security our protest, the siege took nearly 30 hours. as you mentioned. i think it's the volume of strength and the will of rob and the coordinated attack, but it's been able to really launch at the heart of the show. and i think this is lessons that are being yearns as the new government forms its own. curity strategy, right at the attack was the 1st in the capital by bio shops in somalia. he president house on jam mom and was elected in made. does this new government you think have what it takes to take on algebra? i think it's still early to tell. the government has inherited

a very fractured security apparatus and obviously less than $100.00 days into governing. much has to be done to prepare the country to really be liberated from the new president. catholic shall move, has really declared war on shall god, and we will be attacked like these as, shall bob, prepare for multiple tax either in the show or other regions of the day. you know, right now it is very early on in this presidency, but we need to look at it in perspective of what has been happening. the last 4 or 5 years where she has been able to really gain ground across them on the new strength for them. since the last 5 years has been really an opportunity for them to thrive, yet you talk about our bob gaining ground across somalia. we see near tags

concentrated in big cities in mogadishu, for example, that's not unusual, but in recent weeks we've also seen some fight is affiliated with bob who attacked targets along somali as border with ethiopia. for example, do you think we're seeing a new strategy here from the group i think given that the president and his new security in the agenda, which is our top priority has really sort of frazzled sharp. and then they're really trying to strike in ways that has not been yet seen to sort of show that they are, you know, an organization to reckon with. what we've seen in the last couple of weeks definitely have shown about has the capability and the wherewithal to, to execute these complex attacks both within the money and the border areas. what it's really baffling is that you know, these multiple attacks,

they are carrying the fact that they are able to do it so successfully. it's something that the security, you know, specter of somebody. and he knew that also the regional track somebody show, i was not just a somali problem, it is a regional organization. and it's been speaking of the regional threat. there's been a long running african union offensive against fellowship. bob, there's an african union mission. the african union present in somalia. why do you think it's not been successful in routing out algebra? i think this the $1000000.00 question right now. we have $20000.00 plus african mission soldiers in somalia. shebra continues to be i threat regional threat. as i mentioned. i think that needs to be a real recalibration of the agenda of the african mission, the agenda of international community, and also the agenda sawandi government. as it stands right now, we have seen, she gave mental and strength over the last several years. not withstanding the

conflict that has been within somebody the last couple of years, politically, the spend off and the delayed elections. but also we have seen a softening of approach to dealing with the last several years, which now has made it a real potential and a threats to somebody. people, as we've seen to the 40 plus people dead and the death toll, it's still being counted. thank you. so much for talking to us about the thank you for your insight. hold on. joining us from washington, dc the the war in ukraine. now in a series of drawn types have been reported in russian, annexed crimea. authorities say air defense systems intercepted the drones, including above the headquarters of moscow's black sea fleet in sebastopol. there were no casualties reported ukraine has not claimed responsibility,

but has promised to retake the region. there was an expired russia in 2014. it was the 2nd attempt, an attack against the fleet headquarters in less than a month. on july 31st had drawn strike in headquarters, courtyard wounded 5 people, and led to the cancellation of naval day celebrations. earlier this month, the saki military base was damaged by several large explosions for ins, defense ministry says russia, navies, air capability were seriously degraded. russian forces had seized a snake island in the black sea, south of death on the 1st day of the invasion. the strategic art, pulse booster, the russian navies ability to fire cruise missiles at the ukrainian coast. but ukraine reclaimed the island by the end of june. and in april, the flank ship of the black sea feet the mosque. vast sank. keith said smith, i've hit the vessel, the largest washing warship to be sunk in war time since world war 2. theresa ball is in ukraine with more on saturdays drawn attack. i'm hearing all this up where

people are watching cur, fully. what's happening in the crimean peninsula were a drawn, was shot down apparently than attempt to attack the black, the russian field located around that area. what we know is that the governor of the city of philip burrell said that there was a flying or different fell, and then it was a settled fire, the military administration. from here in odessa, a sarah birch. so those fireworks are very cold. those attempted attack means that crimea is coming back to you cream, and that something in a way that goes with, with president volume me, the saloons he has said, which is that though, we'll continue to fight to recover the territory that have been occupied by russia, including crimea, in the past, in the past week we have seen attacks and explosions happening in the crimean pennies late. not clear yet who carrying this attack, they could be special forces or power to fans, as they're called, why ukraine and government for $44.00, they're carrying out this re left side of attacks. and the reason why this is

important is mostly because russia has, there been any type of a taco in crimea would trigger massive retaliation. and that means that people here are looking out carefully what's going to happen because this could mean that and that tax could have been in c 2 like this one, not far away from where we are. there was a nice house strike, it's about in the, in the me call you region 9. people were injured for children where were also injured. and this is a series of packs and fighting that he but have been ongoing in the eastern part of the country where the health services are struggling. doctors and nurses are doing what they can with what they have that they need and much more resources. and that's why the ukrainian government has put together in place a plan to take those who have been injured in the eastern part of the country and take them by twain towards the western side, the the safest site. and that's where they're being treated in hospitals. doctors,

even though the situation is much, much better there. we have spoken to several doctors who say that the situation there is trained as well and that they're struggling in a way to help all of those for arriving from the eastern part of the country. the russian army vehicles damage during fighting with ukraine on display in cave burnt out. tanks have been parked in the capital central boulevard, drawing large crowds. the exhibit comes ahead of ukraine's independence day, which will be celebrated next week. it also marks 6 months since the war began. in other world news, brazil, the former president, lucy, nasty lula desilva, has held his 1st rally since campaigning officially began. fog told us presidential election, a huge crowd of supporters gathered in sao paulo. eula accused. the current president jade bought an arrow of attacking brazilian democracy, also narrow has repeatedly cast doubt on the electronic voting system. and chris, i supreme court judges. i paul, published on monday showed luna has
