United Nations Ambassador to Somalia Abukar Dahir Osman Bale elaborated on a statement submitted by the federal government to the United Nations Security Council.

Osman said no piracy and kidnapping cases have been reported on the country's shores in the past three years.
"No piracy cases have been reported off the coast of Somalia for the past three years. Instead, the Somali government sees the commission as dispensable and needs to be disbanded," Abukar Dahir Osman Bale said.
