The decision by Somalia not to vote for the United Nations resolution on the Srebrenica genocide has raised plenty of eyebrows.
Somalia was one of the few nations that failed to vote for the resolution on Thursday.
Other nations that neither voted nor abstained include Morocco, Israel, Vanuatu, Liberia, Central African Republic and Mauritius among others.
Eighty-four nations voted in favor of the resolution with 19 against and 68 abstaining.
Several of Somalia’s neighbors abstained. These included Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, and Ethiopia.
Countries were voting for the designation of July 11 as the international day for commemorating the Srebrenica genocide.
More than 8,000 Muslim boys and men in Bosnia were massacred by Bosnian Serb forces.
