  • Informe Del Secretario General Sobre Somalia
    Naciones Unidas S/2017/1109 Consejo de Seguridad Distr. general 26 de diciembre de 2017 Español Original: inglés Informe del Secretario General sobre Somalia I. Introducción 1. En el presente informe, preparado de conformidad con el párrafo 25 de la resolución 2358 (2017) y el párrafo 55 de la resolución 2372 (2017) del Consejo de Seguridad, figura información sobre la aplicación de ambas resoluciones, en particular sobre el mandato de la Misión de Asistencia de las Naciones Unidas en Somalia (UNSOM) y de la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas de Apoyo en Somalia (UNSOS). El informe recoge los principales acontecimientos ocurridos en Somalia durante el período comprendido entre el 23 de agosto y el 20 de diciembre de 2017. II. Panorama político, económico y de seguridad A. Acontecimientos políticos 2. El período sobre el que se informa estuvo marcado por las tensas relaciones entre el Gobierno Federal de Somalia y los estados miembros federados. El Gobierno Federal consideraba que los estados miembros federados estaban adoptando decisiones bilaterales sobre las relaciones exteriores de Somalia, algo que compete al Gobierno Federal, mientras que los estados miembros federados adujeron que el Gobierno Federal estaba adoptando decisiones sobre asuntos nacionales esenciales sin darles cabida. La divergencia de posiciones con respecto a la crisis del Golfo exacerbó las tensiones; Puntlandia, la Administración Provisional del Estado Sudoccidental y la Administración Provisional de Galmudug se desligaron públicamente de la posición de neutralidad declarada por el Gobierno Federal. Las iniciativas inadecuadas dirigidas a institucionalizar la relación y la falta de un mecanismo que reúna al Gobierno Federal y a los dirigentes de los estados miembros federados para mantener consultas y adoptar decisiones sobre los asuntos políticos esenciales elevaron aún más la vulnerabilidad de la relación a las presiones internas y externas.

In his remarks, the Prime Minister said the government and the two houses of Parliament should finalize the review process and bequeath Somalia with a new constitution that reflects the aspirations of the entire nation. “I hereby confirm that my government has pledged $3 million for the constitution process to be finalized.
