Somali government applauds UN Security Council sanctions on Al-Shabaab leaders.


The Somali government has applauded the UN Security Council's decision to sanction three al-Shabab leaders at the Somali government’s request.

The Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Daud Aweis Jama, praised the decision in a post on his X account (formerly Twitter), stating that the individuals are now on the sanctions list under Resolution 2713, facing financial restrictions and travel bans.

The statement noted that those sanctioned would be denied access to funds and subjected to travel restrictions.

Since 2007, al-Shabaab has been fighting the Somali government and the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), a multidimensional mission authorized by the African Union and mandated by the United Nations Security Council.
