Only by working together can we build a UN that delivers better and faster. Thank you @ozonnia and UNSC E10 colleagues for an insightful discussion today! #UN80#AUUN

Under the chairmanship of Ethiopia, AUPSC conducted a field mission to South Sudan to assess the current conditions in the country in preparation for the forthcoming national elections. Somalia,as a member of the Peace and Security Council, actively participated in this mission.
I met again with H.E. Abdullah Warfa Somalia's ambassador to Ethiopia PR to the AU, member of the PSC . The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss various areas of cooperation and shared interests between Sudan and Somalia as well as the role of the AU.
We commend and take note of the continued efforts of the A3 to coordinate positions, enhance coherence, and effectively advance African priorities within the United Nations Security Council.

For the first time in decades, Somalia will implement universal suffrage, ensuring one person, one vote throughout the Country. This development coincides with the ongoing military operations to eradicate the remaining pockets of Al-Shabaab.
Any Country interfering in Somalia's internal affairs and compromising its territorial integrity and sovereignty will face repercussions, including potential restrictions on access to the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.
Chargé d’Affaires Walter Parrs met with Somalia's Ambassador Abdullahi Mohamed Warfa to coordinate UN Security Council priorities. As concurrent UNSC members—Somalia on the A3—our partnership helps advance peace and security in the Horn of Africa.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres announced the appointment of Ms. Kiki Gbeho as the new Special Representative for South Sudan and Head of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). Congratulations !
The force generation process is now complete, and it is time to fully assume the security responsibilities of the Country and establish law and order from Raaskaanbooni to Lawyacado. End of the threats from Al shabab and separatist groups.
⚡️UPDATE: In Addis Ababa, @US_AU Chargé d’Affaires Walter Parrs and #Somali Ambassador to #Ethiopia and envoy to the African Union @warfak1 held talks focused on aligning positions at the United Nations Security Council amid shifting regional dynamics.
