“You know how important CIMIC is in any single operation that we are doing, and also in getting the local people, that we are working with out there, to be a bit more comfortable and receptive, not just to see the face of the military coming to look for Al-Shabaab but also taking care of their welfare. So that is very important and therefore this gesture that you have made, among many others, is very welcome.”

“As AMISOM we have footprints all over South Central Somalia. If you look at our disposition and the location of our troops, our troops are located in population centres and the population centres are where the troops interact with these communities, and therefore, projects like what we have today, really have an immediate impact on these troops wherever they are. So we are indeed ready to work with you, because in these locations we are normally the first responders when our troops recover locations.”

“The donation today of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is intended to help AMISOM to reach out to the most vulnerable of the population in Somalia – those living in the internally displaced peoples camps, again the population that has been affected probably by Covid, more than most. So this gives us the chance to underscore the efforts of the CIMIC teams within AMISOM, that are out in the sectors on a daily basis, engaging these IDP camps located very close to some of these AMISOM FOBs. The interaction that they have is seen as an opportunity for us to really provide some key assistance, to delay and slow the spread of Covid. So for us, AMISOM is a natural partner in the effort to provide stability and security to Somalia, and is one that we value and will continue to work with, towards improving the relationship and working together towards helping all the Somali people.”
