UN to return to Somalia within two months
None
The United Nations and foreign missions and organizations will move back inside Somalia within two months after an absence of more than 17 years, a senior UN official said on Sunday.
Most embassies, foreign charitable organisations and the United Nations itself have been based in Nairobi because of security concerns in most of Somalia and near-daily gun battles and mortar attacks in the capital, Mogadishu. The UN left Somalia in 1993 and most embassies withdrew years earlier. (Reuters)
