KDF TROOPS ENGAGE KIUNGA ELDERS TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY COLLABORATION

Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) troops deployed under Operation Amani Boni (OAB) led by the Officer Commanding Major Averestus Achachi, on 13th July 2025, conducted a Key Leader Engagement (KLE) with local elders representing the three main communities of Kiunga: Waboni, Bajuni, and Somali. The meeting marked a significant stride in strengthening collaboration between security stakeholders and local communities.

Co-chaired by the area Chief, Mr. Mohammed, the engagement provided a vital platform to reaffirm the mandate of Operation Amani Boni troops and the broader mission of the KDF, particularly the shared commitment to restoring and sustaining peace in the greater Kiunga region.

The productive engagement culminated in a joint resolution to foster mutual trust and cooperation between the KDF and the local population. The local leaders emphasized the importance of sustained collaboration across all fronts to secure long-term peace, stability, and development in the region.

The engagement underscored a collective determination among community leaders and security agencies to confront the region’s security challenges and pressing development needs through inclusive governance, coordinated efforts, and resource mobilization. It also highlighted the critical role of continuous partnership in promoting social cohesion and sustainable progress across Kiunga and its environs.
