  1. “The Government has a realistic view of the conditions-based transition to ensure that the security gains, made with enormous sacrifices, are not reversed. It deserves our full support. Finally, may I also emphasize that we hope, and have every expectation, that the high-level event on Somalia we will be co-hosting, along with our partners Somalia, the United Kingdom and Italy, during the high-level week, will contribute to keeping Somalia on the international agenda and help in mobilizing the necessary future support for its peacebuilding endeavours and its continued progress towards elections.”

  2. “The role of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), in close cooperation with the Somali national security forces, continues to be absolutely vital. We agree with the Secretary-General that more predictable support by the international community is important to implement AMISOM's mandate effectively and support Somalia on its path to peace and stability. There is no doubt that AMISOM. needs increased force multipliers and other sustainable logistical and financial support. The AMISOM. Military Operations Coordination Committee, which met in Nairobi last month, discussed a range ofimportant issues and raised crucial points. They require our close attention. The commitment of the Government of Somalia to progressively shoulder the lead role in providing security for its people and implement reforms is highly commendable.”

  3. “The swift implementation of the national security architecture and the Somalia transition plan will dictate the successful assumption of security responsibilities by Somali forces and provide protection to the people. At the same time, Somalia, of course, still needs sustained support from the international community in its efforts to achieve post-conflict recovery. In that regard, we welcome the outcome of the Somalia Partnership Forum held in Brussels in July and the strong commitment expressed by partners to supporting peace and prosperity in Somalia in a spirit of mutual accountability. However, we would strongly emphasize the need to translate commitments into concrete action and, in addition, ensure the necessary coherence among partners in providing support to Somalia.”

  4. “If the situation is not handled carefully, it has the potential to further complicate the security situation. In that context, we support the joint mediation efforts of IGAD and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia towards a negotiated resolution of the Somaliland and Puntland stalemate. With regard to the security situation in Somalia, we remain very concerned about the series of attacks perpetrated by Al-Shabaab and elements of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in Mogadishu and other parts of the country. We strongly condemn their heinous attacks and continue to stand firmly in support of, and solidarity with, the people and the Government of Somalia in fighting the menace of terrorism in their country.”

  5. “We welcomed the resolution of the political crisis a few months ago between the executive branch and the Federal Parliament in Somalia. It has brought about some positive developments in the overall political process in Somalia. Equally, we are very aware that the political situation today is being dominated by political tensions between the leadership of the Federal Government and the federal member states. We strongly agree with the Secretary-General on the urgent need to find solutions to such issues through discussion and dialogue. Fostering local, regional and national reconciliation is critical for State-building in Somalia. Similarly, the military standoff between Puntland and Somaliland forces has escalated in recent months.”

  6. “Overthepastfewmonths,wehave seenreconciliation and the start of the process of normalization between Ethiopia and Eritrea, Djibouti, the Sudan and Somalia. The restoration ofpeace between and amongthe members of our region is already providing for the possibility of extended economic integration and a broader political response. Yesterday, the South Sudanese parties finally signed the revitalized peace agreement for South Sudan at the Extraordinary Summit of the Heads of State and Government of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in Addis Ababa. Ofcourse, that is not the subject of our discussion today and we will take it up at the appropriate time, but it also underlines that the winds of change blowing across the Horn of Africa have rekindled a new sense of hope and optimism for regional peace and stability.”

  7. “As rightly highlighted in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2018/800), my Prime Minister undertook his first official visit to Mogadishu in June. The outcome demonstrated the strong commitment of both Ethiopia and Somalia to raise their relations to a new level. The subsequent visit of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmajo to Asmara for the first time also heralded a new era between Somalia and Eritrea, with the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The trilateral summit among Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia that took place in Asmara early this month and the subsequent visit by the Foreign Ministers of the three countries to Djibouti also led the way for the opening of a new chapter in the relations between Djibouti and Eritrea.”

  8. “Keating's last briefing, let me also take this opportunity to express my Government's appreciation to him for his dedicated service in support of Somalia. We have enjoyed an excellent working relationship and cooperation with him over the past couple of years. We wish him all the very best in his future endeavours. We also look forward to working closely with his successor, Mr. Nicholas Haysom, who has already been active in the region. We are also grateful to the Executive Director of UN-Women, Ms. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, for her briefing on her recent visit to Somalia, which focused on the role of women in peacebuilding. Today's discussion takes place against the backdrop of significant and important developments in the Horn of Africa.”

  9. “May I underline how very pleased I am to be here today in the Security Council for the first time since my appointment as the new Permanent Representative of Ethiopia to the United Nations. I look forward to working closely with each and every Council member and count on their support. I also thank you, Madam President, for your kind welcoming words. May I also note that it is particularly opportune that I am starting my work with a discussion on peace and security in Somalia. In Ethiopia it is a subject that is very close to our hearts. Let me thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Michael Keating, and the Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for Somalia, Mr. Madeira, for their briefings on the most recent developments in Somalia. As this is Mr.”
