"Mr President, nearly five years on since the expulsion of Al—Shabab from Mogadishu, the security situation in Somalia has clearly improved. As we now head towards democratic elections, those developments are clearly very welcome.
However, the picture is still mixed. Whilst yesterday leaders from neighbouring countries attended a summit hosted in Mogadishu for the first time in decades, this cannot allow us to ignore the fact that, only two weeks earlier, at least ten people were killed in a terrorist attack outside the presidential palace. Continued and improved EU support for the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) is therefore vital, just as it is important to ensure the political support for the hugely anti-piracy and very successful CSDP mission EU NAVFOR Atalanta in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Somalia. This should be strengthened.
I also take this personal opportunity to encourage official talks between the Somaliland authorities in Hargeisa and the Government in Mogadishu. The union was never approved by a referendum and it is only right that the re-recognition of an independent Somaliland can remain open politically through peaceful negotiation. The status quo in place since 1991 is to the detriment of both sides and of course to the long-term stability of the Horn of Africa."@en1
