WASHINGTON

The UN Security Council on Friday adopted a draft resolution to establish the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM).

The 15-member Council adopted the UK-led draft resolution with 14 votes in favor, and the US abstaining.

The AUSSOM will replace the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), whose mandate ends on Dec. 31.

The draft text authorizes Africa Union (AU) members to deploy up to 12,626 uniformed personnel, including 1,040 police personnel, to AUSSOM until 30 June 2025, and to complete by this date the realignment of all AU troops from ATMIS to AUSSOM.

Ambassador James Kariuki, UK’s deputy permanent representative to the UN, said this resolution “robustly” reinforces the Council’s support to Somalia.

“It authorizes AUSSOM to support Somalia in its fight against Al-Shabaab, strengthen Somalia’s stabilization efforts, and enable the delivery of humanitarian assistance,” Kariuki said.

Somalia and Ethiopia both participated in the session. The countries have been at odds since Ethiopia struck a deal in January with Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland to use its Red Sea port of Berbera. Türkiye has been working to resolve these tensions.

Signed on Dec. 12, the Ankara Declaration brokered by Türkiye marked a turning point in relations between the Horn of Africa neighbors.

In a joint statement, Somali and Ethiopian leaders emphasized that the Ankara Declaration “reaffirmed their respect and commitment to one another’s sovereignty, unity, independence, and territorial integrity.”
