He saluted all the Troop and Police Contributing Countries and commended all partners for the support rendered to Somalia, AMISOM/ATMIS over the years.

He expressed deep concern over the recent situation in Ras Kamboni urging de-escalation of tension and calling for the Parties to engage in dialogue with the view to resolving any differences between the FGS and Jubaland.

Gen Odongo welcomed the meeting of CDFs of Troop Contributing Countries that took place on 04 December 2024 in Mogadishu and its outcomes.

He added that at the request of the Federal government of Somalia, Uganda, like the other countries, stood ready to support Somalia, in the spirit of brotherhood, Pan-Africanism and solidarity.

Expressing deep concerns about the funding model of ATMIS, Gen Odongo said that Uganda strongly supports the immediate and full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2719 to finance the AU Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia with effect from 01 January 2025;

He urged the Commission together with the UN to draw up a road map for resource mobilisation to fill the funding gap of 25% for AUSSOM as directed by resolution 2719, including the possibility of convening a pledging conference.

He further urged the Commission to present the AUSSOM Budget for consideration in order to determine how much can be charged to the Peace Fund in line with the decision of the 1236th meeting of the PSC; and called for the Commission, the UN and International Partners to mobilise in earnest the requisite funding to fill the ATMIS deficit of 120m USD by 31 December 2024.
