President Obama says the attacks show that extremists have no respect for African lives or efforts for a better future. He told the South African Broadcasting Corporation that al-Shabab and other terror groups must be stopped.
BARACK OBAMA: "If al-Shabab takes more and more control within Somalia, it is going to be exporting violence the way it just did in Uganda."
The United States is helping Uganda investigate the attacks. The United States is also offering support to other countries in the area to help prevent other attacks.
And that's IN THE NEWS in VOA Special English. I'm Steve Ember.
