The United Nations announced the transitioning of the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) to the UN Transition Mission in Somalia (UNTMIS).
The transition, announced on Thursday, marks a significant step for Somalia’s journey toward increased sovereignty and self-reliance.
Initiated by the Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this decision aligns with the country’s strategic focus on fostering resilient governance.
Over the next two years, the shift to UNTMIS will emphasize capacity-building and strengthen Somalia’s institutions, advancing stability and independence in line with national priorities.
This milestone highlights Somalia’s growing capabilities and readiness to manage its own development and security initiatives.
