The trend of events in Africa marked
by the upsurge in insecurity and instability has prompted the
International School for Security Forces (EIFORCES) and the Economic
Community of Central African States (ECCAS) to tackle the threat with
tact and professionalism.
Over 30 senior officers, comprising gendarmes and police, alongside planners and decision-makers started meeting in Yaounde yesterday May 26, 2014, to receive high-level training on multidimensional peace operations.

The Secretary of State in the Ministry
of Defence in charge of the National Gendarmerie, Jean Baptiste Bokam,
sitting in for the Minister Delegate at the Presidency in charge of
Defence, Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo’o, told the participants from 10 ECCAS
countries that the Central African Sub-region and the continent were
living in an era of security turbulence and there was need for able
human resources and finances to keep the insurgency at bay. He cautioned
participants to tactfully and carefully come up with short and
long-term strategies that will help stem insurrectionary operations.
He said; “We need to have specialised
teams of experts ready to consolidate our virtues of peace and stability
and also to take it to the entire sub-region and continent.” EIFORCES
with its expertise, he said, was out for peacekeeping missions in
Cameroon and elsewhere on the continent. The increasing complexity and
diversity of attacks needed greater synergy between the actors involved
in peacekeeping and peace building.
According to Réal Romauld Mbida, Chief
of Service for Training at ECCAS-COPAX, mastering the gimmicks of
conflict prevention was primary. He said peacekeeping operatives must be
well trained as to respond to the exigencies of the time.>>>
