SOUNDBITE: (SOMALI) CABDIRASHIID IBRAHIM MAXAMED, DIRECTOR OF THE DEFECTOR REHABILITATION PROGRAMME (DRP) "For the six years the program was running, 2000 Al-Shabaab defectors have benefited from the program as they are rehabilitated and reintegrated back to the community. Those youngsters have been saved from themselves and from the Somali people.Since one member of Al-Shabaab can cause the death of over 1000 people, imagine rehabilitating 2000 of them and the number of people this would save, this was a success."

And in this resolution, one of the items AMISOM has been tasked to do is how to handle the defectors on transitionary basis. And it is therefore important to us to see how the stages that the Director has mentioned here. Particularly the reception, will be used towards achieving our objectives. And therefore this workshop is extremely important to us as AMISOM. It is important that we are bringing all persons that are dealing with defectors from all the sectors."

AMISOM trains Somali officials on rehabilitation and reintegration of former Al-
Shabaab fighters Nairobi, 27 November 2017 - A five-day workshop to train Somali officials on Countering Violent Extremism and the processes of reintegrating defectors is ongoing in Kenyas capital, Nairobi. The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) is training twenty participants drawn from Somalias Defector Rehabilitation Programme (DRP), on basic concepts and components of the Defector Rehabilitation Programme. At the end of the workshop the trainees should be in a position to identify actors and institutions involved in countering violent extremism. According to the Director of the Defector Rehabilitation Programme (DRP), Mr. Cabdirashiid Ibrahim Maxamed, the participants are also expected to interlink defector rehabilitation and countering violent extremism. You can understand the risk they can cause if not well integrated, he explained during the official opening of the workshop today, in reference to the ex Al-Shabaab combatants and other armed groups. According to the DRP Director, at least two-thousand defectors have already been successfully reintegrated into society, since the programme began 6 years ago. The programme operates under five pillars - outreach, reception of the defectors, screening, rehabilitation and reintegration. The DRP works with AMISOM to screen defectors, and is supported by the countrys National Intelligence Service (NISA). Mr. Maxamed said that by integrating the defectors, the programme has saved the lives of the 2000 (former fighters), mothers and children. He divulged that the programme had initiated 10 rehabilitation centers in Somalia; three for adults and 7 for children, and the governments of Britain, Denmark, Germany, the AU Mission in Somalia, the African Union and UNICEF for their support. The UN Resolution 2372 (2017) mandates AMISOM in coordination with the UN and the Federal Government of Somalia, to receive, on a transitory basis, defectors. This is not only to reduce the threat by Al Shabaab and other militant groups, but also to assist the Somalia security forces to provide peace and order, for the countrys political processes to thrive. We consider this very important for us in AMISOM, because its for peace and stability in Somalia. We can fight Al-Shabaab, not necessarily by use of weaponry but words, said Dr. Ododa Opiyo, AMISOMs Senior Civil Affairs Officer and Head of Stabilization and Recovery, According to Dr. Opiyo, the training will offer the DRP staff with comprehensive understanding of the principles and procedures involved in planning and coordinating the implementation of defectors reintegration programmes. It is important that we are bringing together all stakeholders involved (in this subject) from all over the country (Somalia). We are glad we are all coming together to help defectors. We as AMISOM worked together with the Federal Government in planning this (DRP), Dr. Opiyo added. While expressing commitment to work with partners in fulfilling this mandate, Dr. Opiyo thanked Adam Smith International, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) and the Danish Embassy in Somalia for assisting in facilitating the Nairobi training.
