DIGP Ujeneza briefs Police contingent ahead of UN mission in South Sudan

The Rwanda Formed Police Unit One rotation 10 (RWAFPU1-10) under the command of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Corneille Murigo, will replace their counterparts in Malakal, Upper Nile State.

“You are well-trained, fully equipped, and ready to undertake this important assignment.

“I urge you to maintain the highest standards of discipline and professionalism in the execution of your duties. Take good care of your equipment and support one another as a team,” DCG Ujeneza said.

She emphasized the importance of representing and maintaining Rwanda’s positive image in peacekeeping, both through professional conduct and cultural respect.

“Be proud ambassadors of our country, work harmoniously with other forces, keep our culture, but respect the culture of those you serve alongside and those under your protection,” she advised.

DIGP also encouraged the contingent to actively engage in community policing and human security efforts to support the local communities in South Sudan.

“Participate in local activities such as medical outreach and communal work. These efforts build trust with the community and reflect our core values as a nation,” she noted.

Since 2015, Rwanda has consistently deployed Formed Police Units (FPUs) to UNMISS. The country currently maintains two contingents: RWAFPU1 in Malakal and RWAFPU3 — majority female officers— stationed in the capital, Juba.

DIGP also encouraged the contingent to actively engage in community policing and human security efforts to support the local communities in South Sudan.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP) in charge of Administration and Personnel, DCG Jeanne Chantal Ujeneza, on Tuesday, July 22, addressed 240 Police officers set to be deployed under the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).
