AMISOM Police officers undergo training on human rights

Mogadishu, 16 May 2018 - Police officers serving under the African Union Mission in
Somalia (AMISOM) have completed a one-week refresher course on human rights
and gender-based violence in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu.

Twenty-six officers drawn from all the six Police Contributing Countries (PCCs) of
Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Zambia attended the training
aimed at helping AMISOM personnel broaden their knowledge on human rights
issues.

Speaking during the closing ceremony, yesterday, AMISOM Police Chief of Staff, Rex
Dundun, thanked the officers for attending the training and urged them to apply all
they have learnt, to enable the Mission achieve its mandate.

“What you have learnt in these six days is capacity building. These are skills and
knowledge to develop your capacity in order to deliver the AMISOM Police mandate
with effectiveness and efficiency,” Mr. Dundun said.

He urged the participants, comprising personnel from Formed Police Unit (FPU) and
Individual Police Officers (IPOs), to always work together in aiding Somalia establish
a functioning police force capable of maintaining law and order.
“We want you to serve as multipliers. Go out there and teach your colleagues.
Educate them on what the standard practice is, on human rights and SGBV (sexual
and gender- based violence) prevention,” Mr. Dundun emphasized.

AMISOM Women Protection Officer, Gloria Jaase Nkundanyirazo, echoed Mr.

Dundun’s remarks and urged the officers to use the knowledge acquired to diligently
serve the people of Somalia, particularly women and children.

“This is the beginning of our journey to go out there and protect women and
children as well as ensure that the communities living in IDP camps as well as in
refugee camps are accorded protection,” Ms. Nkundanyirazo stated.

Mr. Dundun reminded the officers to be mindful of the environment they work in
and not to put into disrepute, the image of the Mission.
