WELCOMES the efforts made to implement the relevant provisions of decision Assembly/AU/Dec.294, adopted at its 15th Ordinary Session held in Kampala, in July 2010, including Communiqué PSC/MIN/1(CCXXXXV) of the 245th Meeting of the PSC, held on 15 October, which, inter alia, enhanced the strength of AMISOM, and the appointment, by the Chairperson of the Commission, of former President Jerry John Rawlings of Ghana, as the AU High Representative for Somalia. The Assembly REITERATES ITS COMMENDATIONS to Burundi and Uganda for their contribution to AMISOM, as well as to the countries providing personnel for the police component of the Mission; 7.

The Assembly REITERATES AU’s call to the Security Council to provide greater support to AMISOM and fully assume its responsibilities towards Somalia and its people, including the provision of funding through UN assessed contributions for the payment of troop allowances and the reimbursement for contingent-owned equipment (COE), the imposition of a naval blockade and no-fly zone to prevent the entry into Somalia of foreign fighters and the delivery of ammunitions and equipment to the armed groups opposed to the TFG, and the deployment of a UN operation to take over AMISOM and support the long-term stabilization and reconstruction of Somalia. The Assembly RENEWS ITS CALL to the international community as a whole to provide the necessary political, financial and technical support to the enhanced AMISOM; 8. STRONGLY URGES the Somali stakeholders to broaden and consolidate the reconciliation process, ensure greater cohesion within the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs) and complete the outstanding transitional tasks, including the constitutional process, bearing in mind that 20 August 2011 will mark the end of the transitional period;
