The UN Transitional Assistance Mission in Somalia has formally ended its operations, concluding a two-year transition and more than three decades of UN political engagement in the Horn of Africa country.
The closure of the mission, known as UNTMIS, came at the request of the Somali government, according to a statement issued by the mission, Anadolu Agency reported.
The UN said successive political missions had supported Somalia through critical stages of peacebuilding and state-building, helping Somali-led efforts to restore governance, rebuild institutions and promote national reconciliation.
The closure marks the end of a series of UN political missions in Somalia that began with the establishment of the UN Political Office for Somalia in 1995.
The office was succeeded by the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia in 2013, which continued supporting the country's political and institutional development.
In 2024, the UN launched the Transitional Assistance Mission in Somalia, beginning the final phase of the international body's political mission presence in the country.
