Closure of UNSOA

Following the adoption of Security Resolution 2245 of 09 Nov 2015, the United Nations Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS) replaces the United Nations Support Office for the African Union Mission in Somalia, UNSOA established in 2009.

Vehicles and other Equipment

UNSOA has delivered B6 armored vehicles, RG-32 Scouts, Caspir APCs, fire trucks and other such equipment to AMISOM in Mogadishu.

UNSOA has also acquired two hardhulled patrol boats, allowing AMISOM’s surveillance and protective operations in the immediate vicinity of the seaport. In the longer term, UNSOA plans to acquire more boats better suited for increased patrols in rough sea conditions off Mogadishu.
