Sierra Leone troops all set for Somalia mission

[Jacpher]

After a long delay, Sierra Leone’s contingent to the African Union Somalia peacekeeping force (Amisom) AMISOM is set to depart for the country.

 

President Ernest Bai Koroma was on hand Monday to bid farewell to the troops in their “historic expedition to Somalia”.

 

Back in December 2010, the government had pledged to contribute an infantry battalion comprising 850 soldiers to the UN-backed Amisom force that is fighting Islamist Al-Shabaab forces.

 

That was followed by the signing of an memorandum of understanding with the AU a year later. The MoU also committed the continental bloc through the UN to help with the necessary logistics.

 

“Today, after more than 12 months of rigorous training and logistical preparation, the gallant [sierra] Leone Battalion 1 is adequately prepared and ready to deploy. We applaud the governments of the United States and the UK for their invaluable support to making this possible,” President Koroma, clad in full military fatigue, told the soldiers.

 

The troops are scheduled to depart next Tuesday.

 

The Sierra Leonean contingent has been preparing for the mission since 2011, with the US providing training and equipment.

 

The President urged the soldiers to maintain decorum while on their assignment, saying the eyes of the world were on them.

 

Said he: “Our country is now a force for peace in the world. This is an achievement we must sustain. The RSLAF [Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces] have showcased professionalism and have gained enviable international admiration and reputation. I implore you to guard this enviable reputation.”

AFHAYEENKA AMISOM: “Ciidamada ka imaanaya Sierra Leone waxaa la geyn doonaa Gobollada Jubbooyinka iyo Gedo”

Khamiis, Maarso 28, 2013 (HOL) — Afhayeenka AMISOM, Col. Cali Aadan Xumad oo maanta shir jaraa’id ku qabtay Xalane ayaa ka hadlay arrimo ay ka mid yihiin halka la geynayo ciidamada ka imaaanaya dalka Sierra Leone, booliiska AMISOM oo ka howlgalaya gobollada dalka qaarkood iyo qorshe ay ku donayaan inay kula wareegaan deegaannada ay baneynayaan ciidamada Itoobiya.

 

Col. Xumad ayaa sheegay in 850 askari oo ka imaanaya toddobaadka soo socda dalka Sierra Leone la geyn doono gobollada Jubbooyinka iyo Gedo oo ay ku sugan yihiin ciidammo ka tirsan kuwa Kenya oo qayb ka ah AMISOM.

 

“Ciidamada ka imaanaya Sierra Leone oo toddobaadka soo socda imaanaya waxay qayb ka qaadan doonaan howlgalka ay wadaan ciidamada AMISOM,” ayuu yiri Col. Xumad oo sheegay in goobaha ay ka howgeli doonaan ay ka mid tahay Kismaayo.

 

Sidoo kale, afhayeenka wuxuu ka hadlay qorshe ay ku doonayaan inay kula wareegaan goobaha ay banneeyaan ciidamada Itoobiya , isagoo sheegay in ciidamada AMISOM iyo dowladda ay u diyaarsan yihiin inay goobahaas kala wareegaan ciidamada Itoobiya.

 

“Dhawaan waxaan maqalnay in ciidamada Itoobiya ay isaga baxaan Xudur, waxaana naga go’an inaan inaan la wareegno degmadaas iyo deegaannada kale ee ay ciidamada Itoobiya doonayaan inay ka baxaan,” ayuu Col. Xumad ku sheegay shirkiisa jaraa’id.

 

Ciidamada Itoobiya ayaan qayb ka ahayn kuwa Midowga Afrika hoostaga ee ku sugan Soomaaliya, waxaana saraakiishooda ay sheegeen inay ka baxayaan dhawaan deegaanno badan oo ku yaalla Koonfurta iyo bartamaha Soomaaliya oo ay soo galeen dhammaadkii sannadkii 2011.

 

Dhanka kale, afhayeenka AMISOM wuxuu sheegay in ciidammo booliis ah oo ka tisran AMISOM dhawaan la geyn doono magaalooyinka Baladweyne, Kismaayo iyo Baydhabo, isagoo sheegay inay qayb ka qaadan doonaan sugidda ammaanka magaalooyinkaas.

 

Howgalka AMISOM ayaa labadii sano ee lasoo dhaafay lagu ballaariyay gudaha Soomaaliya, halka markii hore uu ahaa mid ku eg magaalada Muqdisho, balse haatan waxay ciidamada ka howlgalaan gobollada dalka Soomaaliya sida ku Koonfurta iyo Bartamaha Soomaaliya.
