Somalia’s Candidacy for the AU Peace and Security Council (2025–2028)

PRESS RELEASE

Mogadishu, January 9, 2025: The Federal Republic of Somalia is honored to announce its candidacy for the African Union Peace and Security Council (AU PSC) for the term 2025–2028. This represents a pivotal moment for Somalia to contribute significantly to Africa’s peace and security agenda, reflecting its transformative journey and unwavering commitment to Pan-African ideals.

With over 17 years of hosting the African Union Mission, Somalia stands as a model for African-driven solutions to African challenges, transitioning into a fully functional and resilient state. Key milestones such as debt relief, election to the United Nations Security Council (2025–2026), and accession to the East African Community (EAC) highlight Somalia’s leadership role in advancing regional and continental priorities.

Why Somalia’s Leadership Matters

  • Fair Representation: Somalia has yet to serve on the AU PSC since its establishment in 2004, making this candidacy a matter of equity and inclusivity.
  • Strategic Synergy: As a future UNSC member, Somalia is uniquely positioned to align and advance African priorities on the global stage.
  • Legacy of Leadership: Somalia’s long-standing contributions to Pan-Africanism include supporting liberation movements, fighting apartheid, and championing independence and sovereignty across the continent.

Our Vision and Goals

Somalia is committed to:

  • Enhancing AU peacekeeping efforts through the application of valuable lessons learned from its own experience.
  • Addressing the root causes of conflict to create sustainable peace across the continent.
  • Driving reforms and strengthening crisis management to ensure proactive and effective responses to emerging challenges.

Somalia’s candidacy underscores a call to unity, resilience, and shared progress as we work collectively towards the Peaceful and Prosperous Africa We Want.
