The General Secretariat of the League of Arab States lauded United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2714, lifting the three-decade-long arms embargo on Somalia. The General Secretariat views this long-awaited move, advocated for consistently in various League resolutions, as a pivotal step empowering the Somali armed forces in countering terrorism and reclaiming territorial control. Moreover, it aligns with addressing the potential vacuum arising from the scheduled gradual withdrawal of the African Union Transitional Forces mission from Somalia in the upcoming year.
