The United Nations Transitional Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNTMIS) started operations in the Eastern African country, the organization's press service said in a statement.
"UNTMIS reaffirms the UN’s commitment to the Government and people of Somalia in building a stronger country and better future," said the UN Secretary-General’s Acting Special Representative for Somalia, James Swan.
Swan added that the transitional mission is set to continue for two years.
According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, the UNTMIS was established by the UN Security Council on October 30.
In late September, a series of bomb blasts took place in Somalia, resulting in the deaths of at least six people and injuries to another ten, according to local media reports.
