Assembly/AU/6(XV) Page 7 30. The Assembly may wish to call upon the Comorian parties to exhibit a sense of responsibility and implement their commitments in good faith. It should also urge Member States and the international community to provide the financial and technical assistance required for speedy implementation of the Agreement on the Management of the Interim Period, particularly the holding of elections. 31. In Somalia, during the period under review, the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), with the support of the international community, made notable efforts to widen the scope of reconciliation and dialogue among the Somali people. On 15 March 2010, in Addis Ababa, the TFG signed a Framework of Cooperation Agreement with Ahlu Sunna wal Jama’a (ASWJ). In a further effort to reach out to other Somali stakeholders, on 12 April 2010, the TFG signed, an Agreement with the semi-autonomous state of Puntland, which calls for the strengthening of law and order in the mainland and at sea, the creation of employment opportunities, the cleaning of toxic waste along Somalia’s coastline, and the sensitization of the public against the dangers of piracy. 32. However, despite the progress achieved, the work of the TFG has been hampered by various internal factors, including some rifts within the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs). I am pleased to report that, despite the wrangling that occurred within and between the Cabinet and the Transitional Federal Parliament (TFP) in May 2010, the situation has now improved. In June 2010, the Prime Minister, with the approval of the TFG President, reconstituted his Cabinet by appointing 39 Ministers, including four Ministers from the ASWJ. The TFP also has elected a new Speaker, and is in the process of reviewing its House Rules to enable it to continue usual parliamentary business in line with the transitional arrangements. 33. In recent months, there has been further demonstration of commitment by the international community to support the Djibouti Process. In this regard, the United Nations, in collaboration with the Government of Turkey, convened a Reconstruction and Development Conference for Somalia, in Istanbul, from 21 to 23 May 2010. Recent developments in Somalia were also reviewed at the Consultative Meeting between the AU, the Ministers of Defence of AMISOM Troop Contributing Countries (TCCs) and Partners, held in Addis Ababa on 2 June 2010. On its part, the IGAD Assembly of Heads of State and Government, at its 15th Extraordinary Session, held in Addis Ababa, on 5 July 2010, took a number of decisions aimed at speeding up the restoration of peace, security and stability in Somalia. These include the decision immediately to deploy 2,000 peacekeepers under AMISOM. In this regard, consultations are currently underway between the UN, the AU, IGAD and other partners, to facilitate the implementation of this decision. In further support to the TFG, AMISOM and other members of the international community are prioritizing the rebuilding of the Somali security sector institutions, particularly the Somali security forces. 34. The security situation remains unstable. In Mogadishu, Al Shabaab and other armed opposition groups (AOGs) have continued to attack AMISOM and TFG positions. Other regions of the South continue to experience violence. With the recent deployment of additional troops from Uganda, the current troop strength of AMISOM now stands at 6,120. AMISOM has also increased its presence on the ground in Mogadishu, with the deployment of police officers to Mogadishu to support
