Somalia elected to UN Security Council after more than 50 years
The United Nations General Assembly has elected Somalia to the 15-member U.N. Security Council for a two-year term starting in 2025.
Somalia was among five countries that received the winning votes, alongside Denmark, Greece, Pakistan, and Panama.
For the first time in more than 50 years, he said, Somalia will have a vote on decisions regarding world conflicts.
Following the news, the United Nations in Somalia congratulated the Somali government and its people "on their country's election today to a seat on the UN Security Council for 2025-2026."
The five countries that got elected Thursday will replace Ecuador, Japan, Malta, Mozambique and Switzerland, whose terms end December 31.
Somali and the other elected new members will join existing non-permanent members Algeria, Guyana, the Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone and Slovenia, whose terms started in January.
The Security Council’s five permanent veto-wielding members are Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.
