U.S. Embassy in Somalia
The United States ambassador to Somalia is the most senior diplomatic representative of the United States federal government assigned to Somalia. From 2015 to 2018 the U.S. maintained a non-resident diplomatic mission in Nairobi for Somalia and its constituent autonomous regions.[2] In January 2013, a senior American government official indicated that the United States could eventually reopen its embassy in Mogadishu, which had closed in the early 1990s.[3] In June 2014, the U.S. State Department also announced that it would soon name a new ambassador to Somalia.[4] In February 2015, the U.S. government nominated its first official ambassador since 1991.[5] In December 2018, the mission returned to Mogadishu.[6]
