to the Somali Police Force.
The equipment donated by the Danish government was officially handed over to
General Ahmed Hassan Malin, the commander of the Banadir Police Station in

We have a mandate here in Somalia and our mandate is to build the capacity of the
Somali police forces. This is in terms of training, mentoring, operational support; you
see the Formed Police Unit (FPU) that undertake day and night patrols. We also do
strategic advising, but most of all, we are supposed to support them in terms of
logistics and equipment, (and) to equip the police stations, Ms. Alalo explained, as
she handed over the equipment to her counterpart.

The equipment which included office furniture; desktop computers, printers, folding
chairs, tables, cabinets, solar torches and solar lamps, will be distributed to various

General Ahmed Hassan Malin said the consignment will go along way in facilitating
the work of police officers, to maintain law and order.

We are grateful for the donation brought to us by our brothers at AMISOM Police.
We will distribute them to four police stations in Banadir and I know they will
enhance greatly our operations, Gen. Malin stated.

The cabinets will be used for storing documents and the solar torches for night
patrols, he added.

post- conflict environments, community policing, traffic management and basic
criminal investigation techniques, which are critical areas in the maintenance of law
and order.
