Military engineers resolve to redouble their efforts to
improve humanitarian activities in Somalia
MOGADISHU - A conference for military engineers ended in
Mogadishu on Tuesday with firm resolutions, in the implementation
of enhanced engineering capabilities on forward operating bases.
The conference which drew engineers from the sectors, force and
mission headquarters of the African Union Mission in Somalia
(AMISOM), resolved to put in place mechanisms to fast track
clearing of Main Supply Routes, to facilitate troops activity,
movement of civilian populations and humanitarian actors. One of
the key hindrances on the Main Supply Routes has been the threat
of Improvised Explosive Devices and Vehicle Borne Improvised
Explosives. The engineers discussed means of ensuring that these
weapons of destruction do not remain the weapon of choice for Al
Shabaab terrorists.
Enhanced engineering activities, according to the Military Chief of
Staff Brigadier General Cyprien Ndikuriyo will improve the quality of
life of Somali people.
The war has currently reached a phase where we need to
completely disrupt, degrade and destroy Al-Shabaab by combing out
all their safe havens where they are hiding. We need to clear Main
Supply Routes and passages and clear them of Improvised Explosive
Devices, Brig. Gen. Ndikuriyo said.
