UN Assures Somalia of Support in Ongoing Security Operations

The United Nations assured Somalia of enhanced support in ongoing security operations in the country.

Gilles Michaud, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Safety and Security, offered this assurance when he met with Deputy Prime Minister Salah Jama in Mogadishu.

Michaud and Jama met in Mogadishu on Sunday to discuss the ongoing security operations in the country.

The UN official commended the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) for deploying Somali National Army (SNA) forces against terrorists.

Since August last year, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s administration has continuously carried out counterterrorism measures against Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia.
