We would like to make the following points. With respect to security, we are very concerned by recent acts of violence, militia attacks against the Government and clashes among the insurgents themselves, which have resulted in a number of innocent casualties. These conflicts show that we need to equip and support the regular army of Somalia as soon as possible in order to extend State authority throughout Somali territory and to reintegrate deserters and defectors from the army.”
