"This is a very complex mission. First of all it's not peacekeeping. This is peace enforcement, it’s really fighting a war. Fighting and state building because AMISOM was deployed to a non-permissive environment in terms of UN standards, for peacekeeping. So we are in war. This makes the mission very challenging". These were the words of Maj. Gen James Nakibus Lakara, the outgoing Deputy Force Commander in charge Support and Logistics, for the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), a position that made him principal Head of Support and Logistics to the military component, operating in Somalia.
Gen. Lakara will jet in on Monday and will head straight to Jinja his new station of duty after he was appointed the commandant of Uganda Rapid Deployment Capability Centre (URDCC).
