PSC/PR/2 (CV) Rev.1 Page 15 (i) First and foremost, the TFG should urgently devise concrete ways to fully implement the outcome of the NRC, and adopt a broader inclusive approach that will appeal to all Somali stakeholders who reject violence, both within and outside Somalia, in line within the TFC. The AU is ready to assist in this respect, working closely with all relevant international actors.

Renewed efforts should be made to this end. At the same time, AU Member States should also make financial and logistical contributions towards the full deployment of AMISOM and the sustenance of its operations.
