William Hague today called for the fight against Somali-based terrorism to be stepped up after arriving in the war-torn country.
As the first British foreign secretary to visit Somalia for 20 years, Mr Hague's visit is seen as a major diplomatic push to bring stability to a country he once described as 'the world's most failed state.'
Wearing a combat helmet and bullet-proof vest, Mr Hague was escorted through capital Mogadishu to his meeting with Somali president />Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed in a heavily protected armoured vehicle.
The Foreign Secretary then introduced Matt Baugh, Britain’s first ambassador to the country since it collapsed />into chaos and civil war in 1991, to the President Ahmed.
