 UN Security Council approves new Somalia mission The United Nations Security Council authorized an African Union stabilisation and support mission in Somalia - known as AUSSOM - on Friday that will replace a larger AU anti-terrorism operation from January 1, 2025, Reuters reported. Somalia's security has been underwritten by foreign resources since Ethiopia invaded in 2006, toppling an militant-led administration but galvanising an insurgency that has since killed tens of thousands of people. The European Union and United States, the top funders of AU forces in Somalia, wanted to reduce the number of AU peacekeepers due to concerns about long-term financing and sustainability, sources told Reuters in June. Negotiations about the new force had proven complicated, they said. The United States abstained from the UN Security Council vote on Friday over its funding concerns. The remaining 14 council members voted for the resolution.

Garba is making a return to the position having guided the Golden Eaglets to win the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2013.

The former Nigeria international will immediately resume the role and take charge of the team’s preparations for the WAFU B U-17 Championship, taking place in Ghana.

The competition will take place next month.

The WAFU tourney will serve as qualifier for the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations.

The Golden Eaglets were knocked out at the quarter-final stage of the last edition of the competition hosted by Algeria.
