Mogadishu (HOL) — In a historic move, the United Nations Security Council unanimously agreed on Friday to lift the decades-long arms embargo on Somalia's government. This significant shift in international policy comes after 30 years since the imposition of the embargo in 1992, intended to stem weapon flow to warring factions after the fall of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.
