The Current Situation in Somalia and the Way Forward
In September 2007, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon appointed Mr. Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah of Mauritania as his Special Representative (SRSG) for Somalia. In light of the continuing humanitarian and security crisis in Somalia, SRSG Ould-Abdallah will assess the current state of the conflict in Somalia. In addition, he will talk about what the UN and other international entities are doing to promote peace and stability there, and he will give his assessment of whether progress toward peace is being made.
