Somalia: Vote on Draft Resolution​

This afternoon (7 September) the Security Council is expected to vote on a draft resolution authorising a one-off exemption to the ban on the import and export of charcoal from Somalia, in order to allow the Somali government to dispose completely of charcoal stockpiles in and around the city of Kismayo by export. The draft text was authored by the UK, the penholder on Somalia.

>After the Somali government submitted its 14 August letter, Russia apparently requested a Council resolution authorising the government to operationalise its proposal. It seems that there was no major disagreement among Council members on this approach. The UK therefore circulated a straightforward one-page zero draft on 1 September and requested members to submit comments on the text until yesterday (6 September). In introducing the draft resolution, the penholder apparently argued that the Somali government’s 14 August proposal would allow the government to generate revenue and remove the risks associated with the stockpile, including smuggling and environmental damage.

Looks like a done deal, would like to know how much it is worth
