James Swan, the United Nations Special Representative for Somalia, has commended President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and his government for fostering development in the country and successfully gaining a positive trajectory in the war against terrorism.
Mogadishu, Somalia —
Under President Mohamud's leadership, Somalia has seen substantial gains in the fight against the Somali-based, al-Qaida-affiliated Islamist militant group al-Shabab. Recent operations in central Somalia have resulted in the killing of at least 18 al-Shabab militants, demonstrating the government's commitment to enhancing security and stability in the region.
In addition to the successful military operations, President Mohamud's government has made significant strides in political reconciliation, economic recovery, and security sector reform. The United Nations has expressed its commitment to continuing support for the Somali government in achieving its national goals, including the implementation of security transition tasks mandated by the UN Security Council.
