The UN Security Council unanimously renewed the mandate of the panel monitoring sanctions on Somalia-based Al-Shabaab, extending key enforcement measures until November 30, 2026. The decision maintains authorization for naval inspections to uphold the arms embargo, restrictions on charcoal exports, and controls on improvised explosive devices. Council members said the move supports efforts to limit the group’s access to weapons and finances while strengthening Somalia’s security capacity.
