has invested heavily with partners, including the african union and key governments such as the united states to help turn the tide in that country. for the first time since the 1990's, the mission for somalia operates in mogadishu not from nairobi. part of our task is to make sure amazon continues to receive financials up or it. the somali security services are not yet ready or able to extend authority across the entire state. there is still needed logistical support from the international community. help has already helped pry open space for political work. thethe first time since 1990s, the un's political mission for somalia operates in mogadishu, not from nairobi. on political engagement inside of the country helps to address the relationship including - a special representative is helping to manage the evolving relationship between mogadishu and its neighbors whose support remains essential to somalia success. security is still a concern. a u. n. compound was attacked just last month. we do not underestimate. we remain committed and determined to stay. others need to stay focused
