15 October 2010 – The top United Nations envoy to Somalia today welcomed the appointment of a new Prime Minister in the war-wracked African nation.Yesterday, Mohamed A. Mohamed was named to the position by Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed.Omar Abdirashid Sharmarke stepped down as Prime Minister last month, in what Augustine P. Mahiga, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s Special Representative for Somalia, called at the time “yet another manifestation of the serious disputes within the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs).”

Last month, a mini-summit on Somalia held at UN Headquarters called on the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) to end its differences and deliver basic services. In addition, it urged the international community to do much more to support efforts to bring peace to the strife-torn country, including by providing increased financial support for the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and the development of the Somali security forces.
