The UN Security Council Wednesday welcomed efforts to solve the current political crisis in Somalia "through the proper Parliamentary channels".
The 15-nation council in a statement said it will continue its "resolute support for the peace and reconciliation process" in the Horn of Africa country.
"The members of the Security Council welcomed the resolution of the current political crisis through the proper Parliamentary channels," Xinhua quoted the statement as stating.
"They commended the prime minister of the federal government of Somalia for his acceptance of the result, and recognised the positive contribution he and his government had made to peace, security and development in Somalia."
Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed was removed from office after the parliament last week voted him out of office in a motion of no confidence against his government.
