We have been able to recover a substantive size of Somalia. We even have
a government running in Somalia. There is government, executive,
parliament. If you go out there you find people are in the shops. There is
business going on and that is where your work comes in. To restore law and
order, to help building policing institutions, to help with building community
policing but also to help with intelligence because of the nature of the war we
are securing in Somalia. The counter intelligence war requires a lot of
intelligence within the community because people splash out of their
communities where they are staying. They hit and then go back.

SCRIPT

A one week induction course for 140 strong contingent of the Ugandan
police under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) ended on
Monday, with a call to the newly deployed officers to stay vigilant and
observe high level of discipline.
The Deputy Special Representative of the Chairperson of African Union
Commission (DSRCC) for Somalia, Lydia Wanyoto Mutende challenged
the officers from the Formed Police Unit, to be sensitive of the new
environment they are operating in and live up to the expectations of the
mission.
We have been able to recover a substantive size of Somalia. We even
have a government running in Somalia. There is government, executive,
parliament. If you go out there you find people are in the shops. There is
business going on and that is where your work comes in. To restore law
and order, to help building policing institutions, to help with building
community policing but also to help with intelligence because of the
nature of the war we are securing in Somalia. The counter intelligence
war requires a lot of intelligence within the community because people
splash out of their communities where they are staying. They hit and then
go back. It is not that you have a drawn line of the enemy on the left

when you are on the right, said Wanyoto at the closing of the induction
in Mogadishu.
The induction course orientated the officers with structures within
AMISOM, the background of the mission and other pertinent issues
pertaining to their mandate.
Present at the function was AMISOM Police Commissioner Anand Pillay,
AMISOM Police Chief of Staff Rex Dundun and both Contingent
Commanders of the Uganda and Nigerian Police Formed Units,
Superintendent of Police (SP) Samuel Aliria Abbedi and Superintendent
of Police (SP) Akande Aliyu, respectively.
Pillay challenged the new contingent to surpass the performance of their
predecessors. He said, The previous contingent that rotated out
performed exceptionally well, to such an extent that the Somali Police
Force was so impressed; that the Police Commissioner of Somali Police
Force invited every member of the Formed Police Unit to a function
where he thanked them and presented every officer with gifts,
He pledged his full support to the new contingent comprising of 13
female and 127 male officers. The contingent arrived in Somalia for a one
year tour of duty on August 4, 2015.
Uganda is one of the five Police Contributing Countries (PCCs) under
AMISOM. The other countries are Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra
Leone. AMISOM Formed Police Unit play a crucial role of ensuring
improved security in liberated areas, under the Public Order Management
law. Individual Police Officers (IPOs) have been co-located with the
Somali Police Force (SPF) in several police stations where they train and
mentor their local counterparts.
