Somalia's envoy to the United Nations, Abukar Osman Baalle, has expressed serious concern about the illegal weapons recently imported from Ethiopia. While giving a report to the Security Council of the United Nations, he described this as particularly alarming, as Ethiopia is one of the countries that have troops in Somalia, which are part of the African Union's ATMIS mission.
Ambassador Baalle announced that the Somali government has started an investigation related to this matter, and it is expected that the results of this investigation will be presented when it is ready. He also called on Somalia's neighboring countries to comply with the sanctions imposed on Al-Shabaab, urging them to work with the Somali government to prevent illegal weapons from getting into the hands of Al-Shabaab and the tribes.
The ambassador stressed that Somalia is committed to maintaining peaceful relations with neighboring countries, and said that the government of Somalia is ready to fully take over the responsibility of the country's security when the African Union mission ends. ATM.
