Ambassador Augustine Mahiga, UN Special Representative for Somalia, speaks with host Carol Castiel in New York City on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly one day after a special high-level meeting on the future of Somalia. Given the recent election of a new president and parliament and progress made in routing the al Qaida-linked militant group al-Shabab, Ambassador Mahiga says he is cautiously optimistic about a brighter and more secure future for the war-torn Horn of Africa nation.
