the Somali population. Council also called for the implementation of quick impact projects
wherever possible, including areas under the control of the TFG in Mogadishu, to mitigate the
suffering of the people.
Council reiterated its request to the United Nations Security Council to authorize an
adequate support package for AMISOM, through assessed contributions, that caters for
reimbursement for contingent owned equipment and the payment of troops allowances at UN
rates, as well as to impose a naval blockade and a no‐fly zone over Somalia to prevent the entry
of foreign elements into Somalia, flights and shipments carrying weapons and ammunitions to
armed groups opposed to the TFG.
Council expressed its appreciation to the Troop Contributing Countries (TCCs) for their
commitment to peace in Somalia, and encouraged other African countries that have pledged
troops and contributions in kind, to speedily provide them to enable AMISOM achieve its goals.
Council also expressed appreciation to all AU partners providing support to AMISOM.
