Please see below statement from the UN Security Council Meeting on Somalia: Mr. Simmonds, UK Minister for Africa who was chairing the meeting said the international community had a “collective responsibility” to ensure continued support for Somali peacebuilding. “We cannot be complacent,” he said, stressing that if Somalia was allowed to backslide, the consequences would contribute to regional instability, piracy and terrorism. There was very real suffering each day, and the world could not stand by and risk another famine in the country. Further, recent attacks by Al-Shabaab showed that the group remained determined to kill innocent civilians and halt progress. un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/sc11025.doc.htm
