Kuwait affirms necessity of security in Somalia

Kuwait has affirmed necessity of enforcing security and stability
in Somalia, particularly within framework of executing international curbs on the nation.
Moreover, Kuwait has considered these international sanctions as helpful for the federal government to prevent arms’ deliveries to “Al-Shabab movement,” other armed groups and dry
up funding resources for these groups.
The official Kuwaiti stance was expressed by the acting charge d’affaires at the permanent mission at the UN, Ambassador Plenipotentiary, Bader Almunaykh, addressing a Security
Council session, late on Friday.
The Security Council first imposed a general and complete arms embargo on Somalia on January 23, 1992 with the adoption of resolution 733 (1992). By resolution 2444 (2018) , the
Council decided to extend the partial lifting of the arms embargo for the Federal Government of Somalia until November 15, 2019.
Ambassador Almunaykh has lauded progress, achieved by the federal government with respect of handling incoming arms and ammunition.
He also praised outcome of the “second Somali partnership forum,” recently held in Mogadishu,for paving the way for regulating the federal financial system and backing national development schemes. (end) asf.rk
