    critical developments. Nevertheless, the challenges for the future are many, pivoting on how politics and development translates into results for ordinary people, how the Somalia statebuilding and federalisation process are moving on, how the struggle against al-Shabaab continues, and how humanitarian efforts can reach the ones in need in order for them to move onto a peaceful, stable and development path.
