I’d like to welcome you to my first blog as the UK Senior Representative to Somalia and the first-ever one on behalf of the new British Office for Somalia.My name is Matt Baugh. You will find a link to my biography elsewhere on this page, in case you would like to know a little more about me. I was appointed as the UK’s Senior Representative for Somalia last year and am head of the British Office for Somalia, based in Nairobi. Our still-expanding Office is made up of various UK Government departments, including the Department for International Development (DFID), the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), the Ministry of Defence (MoD), as well as colleagues working in Addis Ababa on Somaliland and Somalia-related issues. In time, we hope to turn this office into a British Embassy in Somalia, when local conditions permit, as the Foreign Secretary.Visit the blog
