Mbabane – The National Commissioner of Police, Mr Vusi Manoma Masango, has called on 32 Individual Police Officers (IPOs) set to join the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission (AUSSOM) in Mogadishu, Somalia, to demonstrate discipline, professionalism and commitment.
The directive came during the official closure of the Police Pre-Deployment Training (PPDT) course held today at Ngonini OSSU. Commissioner Masango said the officers must observe international standards, including International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law, while protecting civilians and upholding the rule of law in line with African Union Peace Support Operations.
“You have reflected an earnest intention on commitment of member states to the contribution of Peace and Security in the continent. Go with purpose, humility and the unwavering determination to serve the African people. Your safety, conduct and discipline will remain our highest priority and concern,” Masango said.
The commissioner urged the officers to carry the values of the Royal Eswatini Police Service as they embark on the international mission, stressing the importance of professionalism, respect for human rights, and adherence to operational guidelines in Somalia.
