The President expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of the aeroplane crash on Sunday, 10 March 2019 involving a Boeing 737 carrying passengers between Addis Ababa and Nairobi.

He then mentioned the attack of 11 March 2004 at Madrid's Atocha train station, in which 192 people had been killed. He drew attention to the fact that 11 March had been chosen by the EU as the symbolic date for commemorating the victims of terrorism.
