SOMALIA: UN ENVOY CONDEMNS RECENT OUTBREAKS OF DEADLY VIOLENCE IN
BAIDOANew York, Mar 24 2014 5:00PMThe top United Nations official in
Somalia has condemned the brutal killing of eight local elders in the
Bay region of Somalia, as well as the violence that erupted in the
city of Baidoa between supporters of different state formation
initiatives, and called on all parties to show restraint in order to
de-escalate the tensions.

"I condemn these cruel murders and express my heartfelt condolences to
the families and communities of the elders" said Nicholas Kay, head of
the UN assistance mission in the country (UNSOM) in a
<"http://unsom.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=6254&ctl=Details&mid=9770&ItemID=26599&language=en-US">press
release on the incidents that occurred over the weekend.

Calling for a full investigation and for the perpetrators to be
brought to justice swiftly, he said: "I remind all parties to exercise
the utmost restraint and avoid provocative actions that could pose a
security threat and lead to further instability."

According to the Federal Government of Somalia, the community elders
were participating in a state formation conference in Baidoa after
which they were ambushed and killed by Al Shabaab insurgents.

After decades of factional fighting, new Somali Government
institutions emerged last year, as the country ended a UN-supported
transitional phase towards adopting a permanent,
democratically-elected Government.

Meanwhile, in a separate
<"http://unsom.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=6254&ctl=Details&mid=9770&ItemID=26595&language=en-US">address
to the 425th African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council in Addis
Ababa, Mr. Kay called for an urgent response by the State authorities
to lead Somalia's the peace-building process. "It is imperative that
all stakeholders meet without delay to address the issues in Baidoa
and support a peaceful state formation process under the leadership of
the Federal Government."

The UN envoy welcomed the Government's proposal to bring together
political and traditional leaders from all parties for immediate
consultations.

"UNSOM is committed to supporting the Government's efforts and will
work closely with its international partners, particularly the African
Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), Inter-Governmental Authority on
Development (IGAD) and European Union (EU), to move forward the
reconciliation and state formation process" stressed Mr. Kay.

In his address to the AU Peace and Security Council, Mr. Kay noted
that Somalia is now "at a turning point of a long road" and emphasized
that "only together can we help the Federal Government deliver to the
Somalis what they most need: improved security, rule of law,
education, health, jobs, economic development."
"Together, I am sure, by 2016, we will achieve much of which we now
dream," he concluded.Mar 24 2014 5:00PM
