Somalia requests UN to end political mission by Oct 2024, citing restored services and security.
Somalia's government has asked the UN to end its political mission in the country by October 2024, as the nation has gradually been restoring services and security since 1991. The UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) provided guidance on peace-building, security reforms, and democracy for over a decade. Somalia's foreign minister said the country no longer needs UN support to coordinate with the international community, but some regional analysts warn that a premature UNSOM exit could jeopardize fragile gains.
