Against this backdrop, Major General Eric Kinuthia, Commandant of the Joint Command and Staff College (JCSC) Karen, attended the 20th African Conference of Commandants (ACoC) in Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania, from 9 to 11 November 2026.
The annual conference brings together Commandants of African Command and Staff Colleges to strengthen relationships, share best practices and advance professional military education. Discussions focused on aligning collaboration among the colleges to address the continent’s emerging security threats.
Lieutenant General Salum Haji Othman, Chief of Staff, officiated the opening ceremony on behalf of the Chief of Defence Forces of the Tanzania People’s Defence Forces. The guest of honour and Tanzania’s Minister for Defence, Dr. Rhimo Nyansaho, presided over the closing ceremony, which included the handover of the ACoC Chairmanship from Major General Stephen Mnkande, Commandant of the Command and Staff College Tanzania, to Brigadier General Mohamed Alie Kamara, Commandant of the HCSC Sierra Leone.
