PSC/AHG/2(CCL) Annex 4 Page 7 progress made and the challenges that lie ahead. Situations on the ground (a) The Comoros 20. In the Tripoli Plan of Action, the Special Session reaffirmed the unity and territorial integrity of the Comoros, in conformity with the decisions of the OAU/AU on the Comorian Island of Mayotte, calling for the re-launching of the Committee of Seven on Mayotte. In this regard, it should be recalled that, in his statement to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, on 24 September 2010, President Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi stressed that there cannot be lasting stability in the Comoros without a definitive solution to the question of Mayotte; he renewed his proposal of “one country, two systems”, which would guarantee the respect for international law, while allowing France to continue to administer the Comorian Island of Mayotte in a legitimate manner, for a period to be determined on the basis of a common agreement. 21.

It is important that the Comorian parties make every effort to ensure the smooth holding, at national level, on 26 December 2010, of the second round of the presidential election that will oppose the three top candidates from the primary elections, as well as the gubernatorial elections in the Autonomous Islands. (b) Somalia 23. The overall security situation in Somalia remains highly volatile and dangerous. The Armed Opposition Groups (AOGs), led by al-Shabaab and Hizbul Islam, have not relented in their attacks against the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), the Somali population and the AU Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). At political level, while some positive developments are to be noted, in particular the fact that the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs) continue to operate from Mogadishu and the efforts by the TFG to reach out to Somalis outside the peace process, resulting notably in the signing of an
