The United States congratulates the people of Somalia on the successful conclusion of their national electoral process and the election of Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed as the next President of the Federal Government of Somalia.
美国祝贺索马里人民圆满地完成了国家选举进程,选举穆罕默德·阿卜杜拉希·穆罕默德为索马里联邦政府的下一任总统。

The United States looks forward to working closely with the new President and government.Acting State Department Spokesperson Mark Toner said,"We commend the Somali Security Forces and the African Union Mission in Somalia for their efforts over the past six months to allow the electoral process to unfold in a relatively safe and secure environment.”
美国期待与新总统和新政府的密切合作。代理国务院发言人马克·托纳说道:“我们赞扬索马里安全部队和非洲联盟驻索马里特派团在过去六个月中的努力,使得选举能够在一个相对安全和稳定的环境中展开。”

This transition represents an important step forward for the country.Mr. Toner said, "We commend the thousands of Somalis from across the country, including youth and women,who were able to vote in greater numbers than in the 2012 elections,but regret the numerous credible reports of irregularities in the electoral process.We encourage Somalia’s new administration to take credible steps to stamp out corruption and to establish strong electoral institutions to enable a free and fair one person one vote poll in 2020.”
这一转变标志着该国向前迈出了重要一步。托纳先生说:“我们要表扬全国各地的数千名索马里人,包括青年和妇女,与2012年选举相比,投票人数有了显著增加,但遗憾的是,据许多可信报告显示,在选举过程中仍存在违规现象。我们鼓励索马里新政府采取可靠的手段,铲除腐败,建立强大的选举机构,以便在2020年实现自由和公平的一人一票选举机制。”

The formation of a new government is critical to addressing Somalia’s most pressing problems.The most immediate of which is perhaps the possibility of famine due to severe drought, rising prices, continued limited access to food, and dry forecasts.
新政府的建立对于解决索马里迫在眉睫的问题至关重要。其中最紧急的就是潜在的饥荒问题,其直接原因是严重干旱,物价上涨,持续受限的粮食供应以及干旱预报。

The United States looks forward to working in partnership with the President and new governmentto advance reconciliation, drought relief, security,and build the strong institutions to deliver good governance and development for the Somali people.
美国期待与总统和新政府合作,共同推进和解,抗旱救灾,保障安全,建立强大的机构,为索马里人民实现良好的管理和发展。
