NEW YORK (Halbeeg News) -. U.N. Security Council has welcomed efforts by Somali leaders to find solutions for the political disagreement over the electoral process in Somalia.
Following a meeting on Tuesday, the security council members have called on Somalia’s political stakeholders to urgently resume talks and agree on arrangements to hold elections as soon as possible.
“The members of the Security Council called for Somalia´s leaders to resume their dialogue urgently and work together, in the interests of the people of Somalia, to reach consensus on the arrangements for the conduct of inclusive elections with a view to holding them as soon as possible,” the council statement said.
During a closed virtual briefing,
United Nations special representative James Swan has warned that going beyond that day brings “an unpredictable political situation in a country where we certainly don´t need any more of that.”
The members expressed concern that talks in Dhusamareeb town concluded without agreement last Saturday.
The UN Security Council meeting follows after talks between federal and regional leaders failed to resolve their differences over Gedo and electoral commitees.
