I’m so sure he is the perfect voice for the Somalian people with a down-to-earth perspective.
I think it's the opposite, I think he represents the UN to Somalia.

I do wonder why a country which has been victimized by the US since the 90s keeps voting alongside it on resolutions :thinkin-lenin:
How many times do y’all think this guy has actually been to Somalia for more than like 2 days

From u/JuneFall's link https://somalia.un.org/en/about/our-team
A Special Representative of the Secretary-General is a highly respected expert who has been appointed by the Secretary-General of the United Nations to represent them in meetings with heads of state on critical human rights issues. The representatives can carry out country visits to investigate alleged violations of human rights and act as negotiators on behalf of the United Nations.
