The United Nations Security Council has urged Somalia’s feuding government leaders to resolve their disagreements through dialogue and give top priority to holding long-delayed national elections this year.
The body in a statement also called on the federal government and regional states to ensure that any political differences do not divert from united action against al-Shabab and other militant groups.
The text approved by all council members followed emergency consultations on Somalia’s worsening political crisis, which has raised regional and international concerns that elections could be threatened and the wider region could face further destabilisation.
Council members expressed deep concern about the ongoing disagreement within the Somali government and the negative impact on the electoral timetable and process.
