“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.
