The British Government has pledged to support Somali in being a freer and more secure country with a plan to support an end on the long standing arms embargo. Ambassador James Kariuki, speaking at the UN Security Council, said that:
“The United Kingdom is pleased to table today two resolutions which together impose strong sanctions, including an arms embargo, on Al-Shabaab and lift the legacy arms embargo on Somalia. The UK worked closely with Somalia in preparing these two texts, and is grateful for their constructive engagement throughout. The UK is also grateful to Council Members for their cooperation throughout the negotiation process and especially to African Members of the Council, and regional stakeholders, with whom we have consulted closely throughout.”
