African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat has underlined the need to redouble international efforts in support of Somalia to allow the administration of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, also known as Farmajo, to overcome the many challenges facing the country.
During high-level consultations he held on the margins of the London Conference on Somalia on Thursday, Mr. Mahamat stressed the importance to support the full implementation of the newly adopted national security architecture in order to prop up Somalia security forces as part of the African Union Mission in Somalia’s exit strategy.
According to brief issued by the AUC on Friday, the Chairperson also called for a mobilization of predictable and sustainable funding for AMISOM, stressing that the current situation was untenable.
Mr. Mahamat further appealed for humanitarian assistance commensurate with the challenges at hand as he exchanged views with his interlocutors on the recent developments in Libya, Northern Mali and Sahel, Lake Chad Basin, Guinea Bissau, South Sudan and the Great Lakes region.
The Chairperson met with Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, and Somalia President Mohamed.
