UNSC Asked the Somali Government to Achieve Sovereign Capabilities in One Year

[Deeq A.]

After 12 years of bungled peace and state building process, the UN Security Council (UNSC) asked the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) to achieve “sovereign capabilities” in one year in order to graduate from the impositions of Chapter VII and Chapter VIII of the UN Charter, end the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) by the end of December 2024, lift the arms embargo, and fulfill the Somali aspirations for secure, stable, peaceful, united, democratic, and prosperous Somalia standing on its feet. Sovereign capability, associated with the concept of “self-sufficiency,” means “the ability to ensure, under full national control and without reliance on any direct foreign assistance, the execution and sustainment of national security and defense objectives.”
