The UN Security Council on Friday re-affirmed its full support for the peace process in Somalia and the UN's commitment to help regional and sub-regional organisations working to restore stability in the Horn-of-Africa country, which has lacked an effective government for more than a decade. "The Council welcomes the progress made in the Somalia national reconciliation process - in particular the establishment of the Transitional Federal Parliament, the election of the speaker of the parliament, the president and the appointment of the prime minister, which provides a sound and solid framework to achieve a comprehensive and lasting solution to the situation," the Council said in a statement adopted on the last day of a two-day meeting in Nairobi.
