BRIGARDIER GENERAL NKA VALERE URGED POPULATIONS TO WORK IN SYNERGY WITH DEFENSE AND SECURITY FORCES TO FOSTER PEACE.
By Stephen Ojang in Esu
The complex nature of humanitarian relief, peace building and reconstruction missions, are increasingly forcing military and civilian actors to operate in the same space and at the same time.
The Commander of the 5th Joint Military Region, Brigardier General Nka Valère, has understood the need for a cooperation between the military and the population, as a response to human need. It is for this obvious reason that the Army Chief connected with civilians in the theatre of their operations in Web, Esu and Ndawara ranch.
Be it at Weh or Esu, the military Commander, Brigardier General Nka Valère, told the populations to shun fear, rise above it and return to their homes and participate in peace building as well as their village. He also underscored the fact that both soldiers and civilians cannot ignore each other.
Brigardier General Nka Valère, reassured the populations of total security and an eminent return to normalcy. This to him, can only be done if they all take resolute decisions to stop the war by denying and denouncing perpetrators of violence, hatred and division.
It is rare so to say, to see a military Commander, addressing the worries of the populations and assuring them of more. He called on the populations he met in Weh, to do all they can so that life comes back to this once buoyant junction village on the ring-road.
The populations on their part, promised to collaborate with defence and security forces, and to also respect market days in order to make money and rebuild their shattered homes while waiting for assistance from the government.
