  2. “I conclude by reiterating that, for my country, it is simply unacceptable that only 2 per cent of the Somali population has so far received a dose of the coronavirus disease vaccine. Those who still maintain that the pandemic has nothing to do with international peace and security can hardly comprehend how serious and complex the reality in Somalia is. I resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Somalia.”

  3. “Mexico also hopes that the strategic review of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia provided for in resolution 2592 (2021) will contribute to establishing clear goals to facilitate the transfer of responsibilities to the national Government. We strongly condemn the increase in conflict- related sexual violence and grave violations against children. We therefore call on the Federal Government of Somalia to work on a new national action plan on preventing and responding to sexual violence in conflict, in line with the 2013 joint communiqué on the prevention of sexual violence. We also call on all parties to end the recruitment and use of children in the conflict.”

  4. “The timely implementation of the transition plan, including security sector reform, the integration of regional forces and force generation, is essential for the transfer of security responsibilities to the Somalis themselves. In that connection, we also call on the Somali authorities, the African Union and other actors involved in the functioning of the African Union Mission to Somalia to engage in a dialogue on the appropriate reconfiguration for the Mission. We are aware that it will not be an easy conversation, but it is necessary to take into account the different points of view when making decisions that will allow Somalia to achieve peace and stability.”

  5. “We also welcome the fact that the first direct vote elections were held in three districts of Puntland, showing that it is possible to move towards universal suffrage when the political will prevails. As Ms. Siyad rightly pointed out, at this electoral juncture, concrete steps must be taken to ensure that women can participate safely as candidates and voters in the elections. We regret that the 30 per cent quota for women was not reached in the Upper House. We call for the mobilization of all available means to ensure that the women who have been elected can exercise their mandate effectively and on an equal footing with their male counterparts. It is crucial to conclude the elections so that the authorities can focus on pending reforms.”

  6. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Mexico. I thank Special Representatives Swan and Madeira for their briefings, and I welcome to the Council Ms. Asha Siyad, who is doing important work to make the inclusion of women in positions of responsibility a reality in Somalia. I also welcome the representative of Somalia. Mexico recognizes that, despite the many delays and difficulties that the process faced, Somali political actors achieved the necessary agreements to complete the Upper House elections and progress towards the formation of the House of the People. In that regard, we welcome the agreement reached between President Farmajo and Prime Minister Roble at the end of October.”

  9. “In accordance with rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representative of Somalia to participate in this meeting. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the following briefers to participate in this meeting: Mr. James Swan, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia; Mr. Francisco Caetano Jose Madeira, Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for Somalia and Head of the African Union Mission in Somalia; and Ms. Asha Siyad, Executive Director, Somali Women’s Leadership Initiative. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda.”

  11. “Mexico calls for the immediate launch of negotiations, without preconditions of any kind. Mexico deplores the fact that, in spite of signs of the destructive potential of the conflict and repeated warnings by United Nations agencies about the gravity of the humanitarian situation, the Security Council has been unable to prevent an escalation of the conflict. We are deeply concerned about the use of war-like rhetoric that stokes animosity among ethnic groups. We know where the use of hate speech can lead in such a diverse country. Nevertheless, we are confident that the Security Council has learned from past mistakes and that, this time, it will assume its responsibility to facilitate a political process that will lead to peace in Ethiopia. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

  12. “Mexico also takes note of the report of the joint Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights-Ethiopian Human Rights Commission investigation into the conflict in Tigray, which describes attacks on civilians, such as extrajudicial executions, torture and forced disappearances, sexual and gender-based violence, the forced displacement of civilians, the denial of access to humanitarian aid and the arrest and intimidation of journalists, inter alia. Such violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law by all parties to the conflict must be investigated and punished. In that regard, my delegation reiterates the Council’s call on all parties to broker a ceasefire and for the right conditions to be established for a national dialogue.”

  13. “We are concerned about the fact that although food and basic goods are available for the people of Tigray, they cannot be delivered due to the lack of fuel and money to pay contractors. The Ethiopian Government must provide security guarantees to ensure the resumption of, at the very least, the two weekly flights to Mekelle, which had been operating until a few weeks ago. All parties must respect their obligations under international humanitarian law and ensure unfettered access for humanitarian aid, without further delay.”

  14. “The recent decision of the Government of Ethiopia to declare a state of emergency clearly demonstrates that if the parties continue the military option, the conflict will spread to the entire country and have serious consequences, not only for the people of Ethiopia, already enduring them, but also for the entire region. That is why we support and encourage regional efforts to find a negotiated solution to the crisis, in particular those of the African Union High Representative for the Horn of Africa, President Obasanjo. With regard to the humanitarian situation, we are concerned about the fact that aerial attacks in Mekelle have already compelled the United Nations to suspend its flights to that city. That has stopped the entry of cash and humanitarian personnel, thereby worsening living conditions for civilians.”

  15. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Mexico. I would, of course, like to thank Under-Secretary- General Rosemary DiCarlo and President Obasanjo for their very enlightening briefings. We convened today’s meeting because of our deep concern about the situation in Ethiopia. The advance of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, the mobilization of the Oromo Liberation Army and the continued aerial bombardment of Mekelle by the Ethiopian army constitute an exponential escalation of hostilities, whose impact is now spreading to the regions of Amhara and Afar.”

In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the following briefers to participate in this meeting: Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs; and His Excellency Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo, High Representative of the Chairperson for the African Union Commission for the Horn of Africa. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I now give the floor to Ms. DiCarlo.”
