“In the future, some of the Somali police officers you trained and mentored will go on missions elsewhere and be the best peacekeepers because they have learnt from you,” said Kailie told the departing officers.

He then advised them to utilise the knowledge gained their time of service in AMISOM for personal development and career growth.

The AMISOM Police Chief of Staff, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Rex Dundun said the 32 officers had performed exceptionally in the different units of deployment.

“We had distinguished officers, who can hold their own at the highest level of policing internationally. Some of the departing officers were responsible for coordinating and commanding a whole state, and they performed well,” noted Dundun.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Akaninyene Unaam from Nigeria, the highest-ranking of the officers, thanked the Somali people for their cooperation.

“The Somali people have been wonderful. Different people, different cultures, different environments, and traditions, but I must say they are very receptive, welcoming, and generous,” said ACP Unaam.
