Thirty years of UN engagement in Somalia are reflected in the lives touched, the progress made and the dedication of those who served. As this chapter closes, I think of the Somali people and their determination to build a peaceful future. The UN will continue to stand with them.

Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General on the conclusion of the mandate of the United Nations Transitional Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNTMIS)
On 31 October, the United Nations Transitional Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNTMIS) will complete its two-year transition and cease operations, pursuant to Security Council resolutions 2753 (2024) and 2809 (2025) and in line with the request of the Federal Government of Somalia. This milestone brings to a close more than three decades of United Nations missions in support of peacebuilding, state-building, governance and reconciliation in Somalia. In accordance with the transition roadmap jointly agreed between the Federal Government of Somalia and the United Nations, the mandated functions of UNTMIS have been transferred to Somali institutions and United Nations agencies, funds and programmes, reflecting Somalia's commitment to greater national ownership of its peacebuilding and state-building agenda.
The Secretary-General commends the progress achieved over the past decades towards building peace and security in Somalia. He commends the determination and resilience of the Somali people despite the many challenges they face, and acknowledges the tremendous efforts made on the country’s journey from conflict to recovery. The United Nations will continue to support Somalia through its resident agencies, funds and programmes, working in partnership with Somali authorities, the African Union and other international partners to advance peace, stability, human rights and sustainable development.
Recognizing the significant political, security, humanitarian and development challenges that remain, the Secretary-General calls for sustained international support to consolidate progress, advance inclusive political dialogue and reconciliation, strengthen institutions, and promote and protect human rights. He also underscores the importance of continued support to address the threat posed by Al-Shabaab and enable a gradual and sustainable security transition.
The Secretary-General expresses his profound gratitude to his successive Special Representatives, all national and international personnel of UNTMIS and its predecessor missions, and to all those who have served for their dedication to advancing peace and state-building efforts, often under exceptionally difficult conditions. The Secretary-General also pays special tribute to those United Nations personnel who lost their lives in the service of peace in Somalia.
The Secretary-General reaffirms the enduring commitment of the United Nations to the people of Somalia and to supporting Somali-led efforts to build a peaceful, stable and prosperous future.
Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General

L’@UN_UNOCA et l’@OIFrancophonie réaffirment leur engagement commun en faveur de la paix, de la stabilité et de la gouvernance démocratique. Lors de leur rencontre du 29 octobre, @souefmo_elamine et Fademba Madakome Waguena ont échangé sur le renforcement de leur coopération en matière de diplomatie préventive, de prévention des conflits et d’accompagnement des processus démocratiques et électoraux. Au cœur des perspectives de collaboration : la participation des femmes à la vie politique et aux processus électoraux, la consolidation de l’Etat de droit et la lutte contre les discours de haine, pour une Afrique centrale plus stable, inclusive et démocratique.

The importance of women’s participation in peace processes is not symbolic.
They are more likely to endure when women participate meaningfully.
Stability is more achievable when women have equal opportunity to shape the future.
And societies are stronger & more resilient when women & girls can live free from fear & violence.

I would like to thank the United Kingdom for hosting today’s meeting of the Smaller Convening in London and for its continued support for the UN-facilitated political process in Libya.
I also commend the Libyan participants for their continued engagement and constructive efforts to advance the implementation of the 30 August Agreement. Sustained dialogue, compromise and inclusive engagement remain essential to moving the process forward and creating the conditions for unified state institutions and national elections.
The United Nations remains committed to supporting a Libyan-led and Libyan-owned political process.
