MOGADISHU (Halbeeg News) –The International Community has welcomed recent security reforms carried out by the Somali government.
In a statement, The United Nations, African Union, European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States have jointly lauded the measures to beef up the security of the country.
“The United Nations, African Union, European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States welcome the initiative by Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire to brief partners on reforms in the security sector and the Government’s plans to continue to improve security,” the statement reads in part.
The bloc said they were encouraged by the determination of the Federal Government of Somalia to implement necessary security, economic and political reforms.
The International Partners pledged support for Somali government’s efforts to improve the security.
“We underline our support for this work. We look forward to a further discussion at the Somalia Roundtable to be held during the World Bank-International Monetary Fund spring meetings in Washington in April.
“We also look forward to important decisions in the context of continued support to AMISOM as it transfers security responsibilities to Somali-owned security,” the group said.
The group urged stakeholders to support and coordinate collective efforts to help the Government and people of Somalia achieve the reforms through an inclusive dialogue process.
“We believe the full implementation of these reforms will contribute to stability and prosperity for the Somali people and the wider region,” the statement noted.
