Kismayo, Tuesday 19 April 2022-Kenyan troops serving under the African
Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) have concluded a two-day
training course on the protection of civilians during military operations.
Thirty-one newly deployed officers, among them three females, attended the
training conducted in Kismayo, the administrative capital of Jubaland State.
The training, which covered International Humanitarian Law, aimed to
reinforce their knowledge and skills on their obligation to protect civilians while
undertaking operations in the Area of Responsibility (AoR).
“We are focusing on several modules of protection, including general
protection, child protection, (and) women protection, but of course, we are

also going to cover IHL (International Human rights Law) in the discussion,”
said ATMIS Protection Officer, Gloria Jaase.
Under international humanitarian law, armed forces are required to protect
the civilian population from dangers arising from military operations, with
people with specific needs, such as children, women, the elderly, persons with
disabilities, and displaced people, requiring special attention.
“We have taken our officers,” Ms. Jaase explained, “through the guidelines of
protecting civilians as established by the African Union for peace support
operations. We have also taken them through the legal frameworks guiding
them on protecting civilians.”
Lieutenant Tom Obonyo, one of the participants said that the course was
beneficial and served as a refresher to remind them of their primary
responsibility to ensure the protection of civilians.
“We are very grateful to attend this course on (the) protection of civilians in
this operational area. As the main actors in this operation, we need to get this
particular knowledge, (especially) protection of women and children, and the
lessons will go a long way in assisting us to conduct our operations," said Lt.
Obonyo.
