Despite the optimism that surrounded President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's inauguration in 2012, Somalia has struggled to achieve key governance and security goals. A recent cabinet reshuffle and intensified al-Shabab militant activity in Mogadishu have raised more concerns about Somalia's trajectory. With elections planned for 2016, rapid progress is required to bolster confidence in Somalia's government and leadership.

To address these issues, USIP is pleased to host a discussion with Nicholas Kay, the Special Representative of the U.N. Secretary-General for Somalia. As the head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), Amb. Kay oversees a mission charged with providing policy advice to the federal government on a range of governance and security issues and coordinating international engagement. He will provide an update on recent developments and UNSOM's progress in executing its mandate and take questions from the audience.

If you RSVP'd for the previous scheduled event (March 12, 2014) it will be necessary for you to RSVP again.
