Welcome to the United Nations Language: Meetings Coverage and Press Releases PRESS RELEASE SECURITY COUNCIL SC/15313 7 JUNE 2023 Security Council Press Statement on Situation in Somalia The following Security Council press statement was issued today by Council President Lana Zaki Nusseibeh (United Arab Emirates): The members of the Security Council reaffirmed their full respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and unity of Somalia. The members of the Security Council expressed concern about the ongoing violence in Laascaanood, situated in the Sool region of Northern Somalia, which has led to a large number of civilian casualties and the displacement of more than 150,000 people. They expressed their deep sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and wished a full and speedy recovery to those injured. The members of the Security Council welcomed efforts and initiatives by the Federal Government of Somalia, Ethiopia and clan elders to secure a ceasefire and promote inclusive, Somali-owned national dialogue. They called on all parties to reach a ceasefire agreement urgently and encouraged inclusive dialogue and peaceful dispute resolution and called on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) to provide further support in accordance with its mandate, including through engaging with all parties where necessary. The members of the Security Council expressed deep concern about the loss of life and injuries sustained in Laascaanood, in December 2022, when protests were quelled by “Somaliland” security forces, as reported in the Secretary-General’s report of 16 February 2023 (document S/2023/109). They condemned the violent clashes between “Somaliland” security forces and clan militia. They condemned all acts of violence against civilians and condemned in the strongest terms the civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure caused by the conflict. The members of the Security Council called for the immediate withdrawal of “Somaliland” security forces and called on all parties to exercise restraint and to refrain from provocative actions, incitement to violence and inflammatory rhetoric in order to de-escalate the situation on the ground, rebuild trust and to create the conditions for peace. The members of the Security Council reminded all parties of their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law, as applicable. They urged all parties to hold accountable those responsible for violations of international humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human rights. The members of the Security Council expressed concern about the impact of the violence on the humanitarian situation in Laascaanood and the Sool region, compounding the displacement and hardship caused by the drought in 2022. They called on all parties to allow and facilitate, in accordance with relevant provisions of international law, including applicable international humanitarian law, and in a manner consistent with the United Nations guiding principles of humanitarian emergency assistance (United Nations General Assembly resolution 46/182), including humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence, the rapid and unhindered provision of humanitarian assistance.

The problem is greater than the usual clan squabbles. There's a fundamental difference that's hard to bridge, one group wants to force another from separating from their home country, and the other wants to stay. And as the war drags on, it is clear neither have the might to subdue the other. Political settlement is the way, but will come at a price.

LOL

Secessionists grand delusions never stop to amaze.

You mean fascism in the idea of Somalism or tribal hatred towards each other. "political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition" Webster definition.

Galbeedi, The problem with Hamza is being openly hostile to some while failing to explain things. He was mimicking his boss but megaphone. He should have counseled Prez. HSM, Mind you, the changes that are advocating for requires parliament approval at a minimum. They turned the national council into Kacaan revolutionary council.

Their attempt at power grab was wild. They swung hard and missed. Hamse will be booted. Ironically, if HSM backs down, the regional leaders come out stronger specifically Laftagareen and Deni.

Oodweyne might have been committed. He's yelling defeated lot in his sleep

It looks like Xamze will be the sacrificial lamb not that his presence mattered in the first place.

I believe he is in LA now. The guy in anyway outsmarted the secessionists. He hasn't resigned and they won't fire him. As far as he concerned, he made a principled stand against his government.

.

Galbeedi, Respectfully, all that means nothing if Awdal community doesn't push for change in a meaningful way and if they don't assume the mantle of leadership instead of politics of grievances which Habraha mastered. And not be satisfied with local changes, but challenge Xamar and Jigjga. The condescending mentions of reer Awdal being educated every time the young people try to air the frustration is not acceptable anymore. The Garaads created a template for change, and I am not saying violence is the way, but their determination forced Garowe and MJs come to their aid, and will force HSM to take a side. A new narrative needs to be written in the North and I do believe Awdal is the key. It is not acceptable Ugaas Guud ee reerka not roam freely in Awdal and every technocrat and governors being appointed by Hargeisa.

Qabiil wise, yes.I am not sure which town he is from.

HY still have the numbers and they no longer believe in this con job where HA and its politicians benefited the most. Every dime collected in the name of the North is invested Berber Corridor. Just compare how much Gabiley gets vs Burco.

Your Capital? The city belongs HA. Your clan are squatters who are dying in a mass in Goojacadde.
