FILE - In this Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2015, file photo, Nicholas Haysom, then the top UN envoy in Afghanistan, speaks during a press conference in Kabul. A foreign ministry statement late Tuesday accuses Nicholas Haysom of diplomatic overreach that violated the Horn of Africa nation's sovereignty, declaring him "persona non grata." Robow was flown to Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, and has been held in a prison run by Somalia's intelligence agency. In confirming Robow's arrest, Somalia's security ministry cited the federal government's ban on his candidacy, which said he had not completed the defection process. A joint statement by the United States, more than a dozen countries, the AU mission and the United Nations expressed concern after the arrest and protests.
