The troubled Horn of Africa country, Somalia, is still vulnerable but is making progress towards a more stable future, according to the UN’s most senior official in the country.
The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, Michael Keating, says the situation in Somalia, politically, economically and from a security perspective is improving; but he adds that after 30 years of civil war, long-held grievances are impeding progress in the country.
Mr Keating is leaving his post on Friday – he’s also head of the UN Mission in Somalia, UNSOM – after more than two and a half years in the job.
