| [RADIOSHABELLE] A contingent of 13 Uganda Police Officers has been flagged off for a peace-keeping mission in Somalia under AMISOM. Uganda Police Force, Director of Peace Support Operations, Grace Turyagumanawe, urged the officers to be disciplined as they go to serve in Somalia. "Keep the same good standards of discipline as you go to serve in peace operations. Follow the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... and African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... codes of conduct," Turyagumanawe said during the briefing function at Police Headquarters in Naguru Kampala. He called upon the officers to act with the highest level of professionalism, integrity, respect for culture and diversity, and to observe human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... and international humanitarian laws. The officers are expected to spend at least one year on their tour of duty in Somalia. |
