Uhuru Kenyatta discussed the UN's need to increase funding for efforts to stabilise Somalia in his meeting with UN General Assembly President Peter Thomson on Monday. President Uhuru said the United Nations should do more to support the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). "The EU has worked hard and its work is appreciated but ultimately the UN has a responsibility to support the mission," he said. Uhuru's remarks come ahead of the Third London Conference on Somalia, which he is scheduled to attend on May 11. The meeting took place in Gigiri, Nairobi, on the sidelines of the 26th Session of the Governing Council of UN-Habitat
