Clean-up operations are under way outside a hotel in the capital, Mogadishu. Al-Shabaab militants targeted the hotel at the weekend. At least 29 people have been killed, including top government officials - and children. The attack began around five in the afternoon on Saturday. The militants detonated a car bomb outside the hotel. They then stormed the building. The subsequent siege lasted until the early hours of Sunday morning. Security officials say two militants have been killed in the operation. Three others have been taken in alive. CGTN's Abdulaziz Billow brings us more now on the attack and its aftermath.
