UN envoy to leave office

he UN envoy for Somalia Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah is to leave office at the end of his tenure, .. Confidential sources said the UN is not renewing his contract amid reports of his replacement by a diplomat from Tanzania.“The international community was seriously heartbroken within the last two months over the disagreement between top Somali leaders that is unhealthy to the devastated Somali population,” said a UN diplomat who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak.The UN envoy has come under pressure to solve the crisis which threatened the existence of the fragile government in Mogadishu.Some Somali lawmakers have accused him of being the central perpetrator responsible for the serious and unfortunate legal and political dispute within Somalia's fragile government.Calls for his immediate resignation as the United Nation's Special Representative for Somalia began to emerge early, following allegations of his lack of consensus or inclusiveness in dealing with Somali problems.
The nail hit on him hard, when he immediately threw weight behind the embattled President of Somalia Sharif Ahmed's unconstitutional attempt to dismiss current Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke to push for the appointment of Mohammed Abdirisaq Abukar, a worker at his Nairobi office.Sharif later rescinded his decision to sack Prime Minister Sharmarke after consulting with constitutional lawyers and lawmakers, a move that put Abdallah in awkward position.
