Watch Johnnie Carson - U.S Policy in Somali Update(March)

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson and Ambassador to the UN Mission in Rome Ertharin Cousin recently conducted a briefing on U.S. Policy in Somalia. During the event, Assistant Secretary Carson stated:

"The Somali people have suffered tremendously throughout more than 20 years of conflict, and Somalia's turmoil destabilizes not only that country, but the region and also some aspects of the international community. The U.S. recognizes that any long-term solution to the crisis in Somalia must be an inclusive political solution. We continue to call upon all those who seek peace in Somalia to reject terrorism and violence, and to participate in the hard work of stabilizing the country for the benefit of Somalia's population."
