1. “It is crucial that the newly-elected Government turn its focus on the deteriorating security situation, to the undertaking of reforms and to the humanitarian crisis caused by unprecedented droughts, which threaten to plunge the population into another famine. Further delays will give Al-Shabaab more time to overshadow the Government’s efforts to provide peace and prosperity and will fuel Al-Shabaab’s propaganda as an alternative to a democratically elected Government. In the end, it is incumbent upon the Somalis themselves to create the conditions for long-term stability in their country. Albania stands by the Somali people. We reiterate our full support for their efforts to make Somalia safer, peaceful and prosperous. Lastly, we welcome those partners and donors that have shown their firm support for Somalia through ATMIS.”

2. “At the same time, we commend AMISOM for its contribution and the sacrifice of its personnel, who, along with their Somali partners, have fought to build lasting peace and stability in Somalia for 15 years, since the Mission was first authorized. As we noted in the Council last week (see S/PV.9001), the security situation is Somalia has changed significantly through the years, but in a dramatic turn of events Al-Shabaab has managed in recent months to heighten its ability to commit repeated attacks against security forces and, unfortunately, against civilians and civilian infrastructure. In this regard, we reiterate our call on the Government of Somalia to complete the elections in a credible and inclusive manner, guaranteeing women and youth the right to participation and representation.”

3. “Albania would like to thank the United Kingdom, as penholder, for its hard work in drafting the comprehensive resolution 2628 (2022) and for leading the challenging negotiations. We welcome the unanimous adoption of the resolution, which authorizes the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), the successor of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), to carry out its mandate to combat the threat posed by Al-Shabaab, to support the capacity-building of the integrated Somali security and police forces, and to conduct a phased handover of security responsibilities to Somalia. It is of absolute importance that the Security Council succeed in demonstrating its renewed support for Somalia by endorsing the decision to reconfigure AMISOM into the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia.”
