Our joint work thorugh the BRCiS consortium is a testament to both agencies dedication to work together to deal with this unprecedented humanitarian crisis
The UK is appalled by Al Shabaabโs terror attack in Maxaas which killed and injured innocent civilians, including health workers. The UK stands with Somalia and its partners in the fight against terrorism.
Intโ partners are concerned about the violence in Laascaanood resulting in civilian deaths and casualties.
Preventing violence and ensuring the protection of civilians is paramount. We call for calm and restraint. Tensions must be resolved through de-escalation and dialogue.
We are concerned by recent events in Las Anod resulting in death and injury of civilians. We urge all sides to de-escalate, avoid further casualties, and resolve the matter peacefully.
Concerned about reports of violence in Baidoa.
- Share calls for dialogue where there are disagreements.
- Critical that emergency health and nutrition assistance to the 800,000 people in Baidoa is not disrupted.
Pleasure to meet @AadanMadobe again today to hear his proposal for reconciliation in SWS and priorities as Speaker. We discussed the vital importance of peace and stability in SWS and the importance of Parliament in progressing vital legislation.
