Mogadishu (RBC) As Somalia Federal Government marks the first anniversary of its election on September 10th last year, UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Somalia Nicholas Kay has congratulated the president, government and people of Somalia on the first anniversary of the Federal Government.
Mr Kay who took office in June this year, almost eight months after the election of president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, said that this September too will be a landmark for Somalia in setting up a new framework for international support: the New Deal Compact. I look forward to another year of Somalia rising.
“Much progress has been made, but much remains to be done, especially to tackle continuing threats to security. Increased efforts, including by the international community, will be needed.” Kay said in a statement from his office.
After one year of hard work, president Mohamud still faces many challenges ahead including security, according to Somali analysts. Only this week Al Shabab conducted two suicide explosions in Mogadishu killing more than 20 people.
