Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) troops operating under Operation Amani Boni in the North Sector, carried out a series of Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) activities to support residents of Bula Sinai Village in Garrisa county. Led by Major Collins Adoli, the team provided medical assistance, distributed food supplies to over 20 families, and donated 20 iron sheets for the construction of a local madrasa.
Making his remarks during the event, Maj. Adoli praised the local community for their readiness to collaborate closely with security agencies. He emphasised the vital role played by locals as key stakeholders in tackling security issues and contributing to sustainable, positive change.
“You are key stakeholders in addressing security challenges, and your involvement is essential in finding lasting solutions that bring about positive change,” said Maj. Adoli.
Speaking on behalf of the residents, Village Elder Mr. Dakow Ahmed expressed deep appreciation for the gesture, noting that such support strengthens the bond between civilians and the military in the ongoing fight against terrorism.
Also present was Mr. Gabow Maalin Farah, a member of the Cross-Border Peace Team, who praised KDF for not only securing the region against armed group threats but also delivering essential services to affected populations. He emphasized that such acts of service foster trust and boost morale, directly weakening the influence of hostile groups.
This initiative by the Kenya Defence Forces reflects the broader mission of Operation Amani Boni, one that goes beyond security operations to foster lasting peace through community engagement. By addressing immediate humanitarian needs while nurturing mutual trust, KDF continues to demonstrate that true stability is built not only through strength, but also through compassion, cooperation, and shared purpose.
