Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 42143, member: 636"] Somalia told international partners to stop using an old coordination system. The government sent a letter to UN representative James Swan asking for changes. Officials want to end the C6+ framework that started after 2010. Foreign Minister Ali Omar said the country changed since those early days. The system made Somalia look weak and dependent on outside help. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud runs a government with working institutions and democratic processes. The nation operates as a sovereign state rather than a recovering conflict zone. Omar argued that foreign guidance undermines local leadership and democratic growth. International partners must treat Somalia as an equal partner moving forward. The C6+ structure belongs to the past and hurts the country's reputation. Al-Shabaab fighters still attack government forces and civilians across Somalia. Security teams backed by African Union troops reclaimed territory during recent operations. The militant group carries out bombings and assassinations despite military pressure. Local clan militias joined government forces to fight the extremists. Central regions saw the heaviest fighting between opposing sides. The C6+ group connects major international players like America, Britain, and European Union representatives. These partners helped rebuild Somalia over the past decade through various programs. The government wants bilateral relationships instead of group meetings about their future. Officials believe direct partnerships work better than committee-style coordination systems. [/QUOTE]
