Mogadishu (HOL) — Somalia has the authority to decide on Ethiopian troop participation in the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), set to launch in January 2025, according to UK Ambassador Michael Nithavrianakis.

In a recent interview, Ambassador Nithavrianakis highlighted ongoing diplomatic efforts led by Kenya and Turkey to resolve the current diplomatic tension between Somalia and Ethiopia.


“Ethiopia, as a neighbouring country, has performed an important role in the ATMIS mission, and we want to see them continue if it is possible, but that is a decision for the federal government of Somalia, and the position of the UK is trying to find a solution,” he noted.

The ambassador also underscored the significance of transitioning Troop Contributing Countries (TCCs) into future Troop Partnerships (TPNs) to maintain stability in Somalia.

“We need to try and reduce the tension and support diplomatic efforts underway to find a solution,” he noted.

Somalia has requested that Ethiopian forces be excluded from AUSSOM unless Ethiopia retracts its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Somaliland. Approximately 13,000 troops from Ethiopia and four other nations are expected to withdraw from Somalia by the end of this year, with a restructured mission anticipated to assume duties in 2025.

We’re now a UN trusteeship fully. No longer under chapter 7, but chapter 8. UN can weigh in on Somalia’s political decisions. But at least we can decide participating countries.

The EU will pretty much fall in line with the UK. FGS already has a relationship with dozens of EU nations and some are donors.

The UK are pushing for Somalia to have the choice to decide, other countries might have other ideas we will see where the chips fall. Based on the other things happening, I would guess that the US would support Ethiopia's inclusion but the majority of members will accept FGS position.

These missions have always been authorized by consensus of the Security Council and Somalia’s acceptance. Russia China and the other non permanent states will never authorize AUSSOM if Somalia is opposed.

keep in mind that Somalia will be in the Security Council next year, special regard will be given to its concerns even now.

Culusow did good here

Culusow would do good by managing Somalia's security himself. Until then this is all just window dressing.
