Mogadishu(Mogadishu24)-President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud convened an extraordinary meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) on July 18, 2024, to address the recent illicit weapons incident in the Galgudud region under Galmudug State.
Key Points from the Meeting:
The Federal Government of Somalia faces criticism from opposition and international partners over arms control issues, particularly after local militias robbed and looted two trucks carrying a large cache of weapons near the Abudwak district. This incident occurred only six months after the United Nations Security Council lifted a 33-year arms embargo on Somalia.
