Situational Analysis
The Federal Government of Somalia’s Position toward the UN SRSG:
Reactions from Parties and Future Implications
Reactions from Parties and Future Implications
On Tuesday, January 1, 2019, a statement by the foreign ministry of the Federal Government of Somalia declared Mr. Nicholas Fink Haysom, the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Somalia, persona non grata. In diplomatic terms, this “persona non grata” declaration simply means that Mr.lIaysom is unwelcome in the territory of Somalia because of his undiplomatic conduct in words or actions. This declaration was a response to a letter from Haysom to the Somali government in which he demanded an explanation of the legality and manner in which the government arrested a supposedly reformed former deputy leader of al-Shabaab, Mr. Mukhtar Robow, who was a main contender for the regional presidency in the South West State elections.’ The Somali government banned Mr. Robow from running, but the South West State electoral body approved his candidacy. According to Somalia’s envoy to the UN, Ambassador AbukarDahir Osman, Mr. Robow ” cannot assume leadership positions without going through a stringent, established rehabilitation program.”
