United Nations to conclude its political mission in Somalia

The United Nations is set to fully conclude its political mission in Somalia, which has lasted for three decades, in October 2027. This decision follows a formal request by the Federal Government of Somalia to take full responsibility for state-building and national administration. Over the past two years, the mission has been transferring its mandates to Somali national institutions and various UN development agencies. This transition is being executed in accordance with resolutions passed by the UN Security Council.
