(ATMIS) Deputy Force Commander in charge of Operations and Planning, Maj. Gen.
Marius Ngendabanka on Monday visited the port city of Kismayo to familiarize
himself with peacekeeping operations in Jubaland state.
“We are a new leadership team in the military component hence we have to visit all

challenges troops face in the sector in view of the ongoing joint operations with the
Somali National Army (SNA), against Al Shabaab militants in southern Somalia.
“We have also come to evaluate the challenges the sector faces and to boost troop
morale, their combat readiness, and effectiveness," observed Maj. Gen
Ngendabanka.

Col. Tesit Nightie and other senior officers before inspecting a guard of honour
mounted by the Kenyan contingent.
Maj. Gen Ngendabanka visited some of the facilities critical in the provision of
logistical and service support to the troops including the Level-One Plus Hospital in
Kismayo.

He commended Ethiopian and Kenyan troops for their critical role in securing
Kismayo and its environs and urged them to continue working closely with the
Somali National Army in fighting Al Shabaab militants in the Federal Member State.
Other officials present during the visit included ATMIS Deputy Force Commander in
charge of Logistics and Support, Maj. Gen. Peter Kimani Muteti; ATMIS Chief Military
Officer(CMIO), Col Mohamed Sirat Yusuf, and ATMIS military Chief of Staff Brig.
