Tanzania, US institution to train military experts

-


 Tanzania has been chosen to collaborate with an American institution to train military experts, civilians, peace keepers and security personnel. Tanzania has been one of the countries that contribute a large number of peace keepers in Africa,
 
According to the executive director of the Peace Operation Training Institute (POTI) of United States of America, Dr Harvey Langholtz, the training will be provided online in collaboration with the Dar es Salaam’s Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies (IPCS).
 
Langholtz said: “I checked the data and saw there were about 70 enrolments from IPCS during 2015 training.”
 
Tanzania has been among the best countries in Africa for providing peacekeepers to different missions in Africa and beyond for some decades. These include peace keeping in Liberia, Sudan and recently in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where Tanzania still has military troops and in Sudan’s Darfur.
 
For his part, the director of the IPCS in Tanzania, Cosmas Bahali, said his institute has been training peace experts in and outside Tanzania to the extent that it has specialised in peace and security issues.
 
“We are experts in all issues regarding security and peacekeeping in the United Nations’ different missions. We have been training experts from different countries in Africa and Tanzania,” said Bahali.
 
He said the ongoing curriculum includes core pre deployment materials (CPTM), principles and guidelines for UN peacekeeping operations, introduction to the UN system, commanding peacekeeping, commanding of humanitarian relief operation, disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR), Ebola virus diseases awareness and precautions for peacekeeping personnel and ethics in peacekeeping.
 
Others are gender perspectives in UN peacekeeping, history of UN peacekeeping 1945 - 1987, History of UN peacekeeping 1988 - 1996, history of UN peacekeeping 1997 – 2006, human rights, human rights and peacekeeping, implementation of the un security council resolutions on the women, peace and security agenda in Africa.
 
However, there are a lot of other courses provided based on peace and security as per UN rules and procedures.

Wikiendi hii msimu wa Ligi Daraja la Kwanza 2015/16, unatarajiwa kuhitimishwa kwa kuchezwa mechi 12 katika viwanja tofauti huku timu zote 24 zikishuka dimbani, zipo zinazosaka pointi muhimu huku nyingine zikikamilisha ratiba tu kwani hazina cha kupoteza. Tayari Ruvu Shooting kutoka Kundi B, imeshajikatia tiketi ya kucheza Ligi Kuu Bara msimu ujao, huku JKT Kanembwa iliyokuwa Kundi C ikiwa ni timu ya kwanza kushuka daraja. Vita iliyobaki ni ya kutafuta nafasi ya kuungana na Ruvu Shooting na nyingine ni ile ya kuepuka kuifuata JKT Kanembwa. Katika vita ya kupanda, African Lyon inaongoza Kundi A ikiwa na pointi 26, inafuatiwa na Friends Rangers yenye pointi 23 sawa na Ashanti United inayoshika nafasi ya tatu, lakini tofauti ya mabao ya kufunga na kufungwa ndiyo inayowatenganisha. Mechi zao za mwisho, African Lyon vs Ashanti na Friends vs Kiluvya United, hivyo basi endapo Friends ikiibuka na ushindi na Lyon ikapoteza basi Friends inapanda, lakini ...

Security Council resolution and tough new sanctions.
